Reviews
Top notch suspense! From first page to last, Knight delivers as she plunges an ordinary married couple into a steadily growing horror of past lies, fresh betrayals and murderous revenge.
Praise for WINK MURDER
Jo Nesbo, Stephen King, Patricia Cornwell and Ali Knight
A tight-plotted, too-close-for-comfort thriller that races to the finish. Pacey and disquieting, Knight's debut hints she might be a successor to Sophie Hannah's queen of suspense crown.
'A really enjoyable read.'
'Knight's promising debut . . . crackles from first page to last . . . She could be very good indeed.'
'Tightly-plotted, high-pitched psychological thriller . . . what bright new talent Ali Knight does so successfully, and with a welcome fresh eye, is broach the great divide between public and private space.' ****
'A fast-paced whodunit.'
'A psychological drama that grips from first to last'
A tightly constructed, suspenseful thriller that will have you turning pages and keep you guessing all the way to the dramatic conclusion.
The large cast and complicated happenings make an intriguing - if quite muddling - read, and Ali Knight writes well.
[A] suspenseful Hitchcockian tale . . . [one of the] top ten crime books to take on holiday
This thriller will have you on the edge of your seat desperate to read more. Perfect for fans of James Patterson, this is a classic suspense crime thriller . . . a great novel from what appears to be a promising new writer.
