‘Accomplished and addictive’ SUNDAY TIMES
Verity Baxter has lived – quietly, carefully – in Trinity Fields all her life. Then Ailsa and Tom Tilson move in next door and everything changes. Can Verity trust what she hears through the walls?
And what about the Tilsons: should they pity their eccentric neighbour and her messy house? Or should they fear her?
Either way, like the ivy that creeps through their shared garden fence, their lives are entwined now. And the knots can only get tighter . . .

An intelligent, twisty psychological thriller
You think you know what's going on in this brilliant read, then you realise you so don't!
Durrant gently reveals her delicate exploration of damaged relationships, fragile friendships, missed potential, and what happens when ambition governs the way you treat others (...) An absorbing, classy read to keep you guessing
A delicious study in dark psychology, this clever tale will keep you guessing
A masterfully-plotted page-turner
A masterly slow-burn gripper
An absolute belter. Utterly engrossing, astute, disturbing and so believable. Just fantastic
Beautifully written and stupendously addictive
Deliciously sly yet also profoundly moving - a twisty game of cat and mouse that keeps the reader guessing at every step
Elegant and astute, Finders Keepers is truly gripping
Incredible! So clever and compelling
Pitch-perfect. I absolutely loved it
Riveting from the first page to the last. No one creates characters like Sabine Durrant. I was completely enthralled
Utterly immersive and compulsive. Pace, place, characters, plot ... It's a masterclass
Totally immersive, brilliantly written and creepily plausible
Extraordinary ... a beautifully written, gripping cross between Notes from a Scandal and Gone Girl, with a dash of Eleanor Oliphant. Ridiculously good
Completely WONDERFUL, her best book yet. I utterly loved it and could not put it down. Sabine has such a gift for those exquisite, telling details
Seriously superior psychological thriller...the language is honed as sharp as a stiletto. The murder mystery is teased out to the very last compelling page
We have Verity's own word for it! Terrific (adj): extremely good, wonderful
A taut thriller with layer upon layer of suspense and twists right to the very last page
Well-paced thriller... Durrant builds a sense of menace and the ending is satisfying, with a believable twist
A delicious study in dark psychology, a narrator to keep you guessing and a real emotional punch
This summer's most anticipated thriller, Finders, Keepers is deliciously slow-burning and hard to put down. Fans of Durrant's previous novels will relish the smart twists and turns and will be left guessing until the very end
This well-paced, intelligent mystery benefits from finely-drawn characters and convincing psychological tension. Durrant explores the vicious extremes of female behaviour and asks us to take a peek at the raging traumas behind the calm masks of suburban respectability
Suspenseful thriller. One not to miss
A smart, compelling and thoroughly haunting read
Chilling
Eerie
A slow-burn thriller that sucks you in and keeps you wanting more. Just when you think you know someone, think again...
Engrossing psychological crime novel...the story plays with our sympathies and explores the boundary between devotion and resentment that exists in relationships of all kinds
An intelligent, twisty psychological thriller
You think you know what's going on in this brilliant read, then you realise you so don't!
Durrant gently reveals her delicate exploration of damaged relationships, fragile friendships, missed potential, and what happens when ambition governs the way you treat others (...) An absorbing, classy read to keep you guessing
A delicious study in dark psychology, this clever tale will keep you guessing
Reminiscent of Virago Classics and Alan Bennett monologues, it's an accomplished and addictive addition to the great British
tradition of spinster fiction, and Verity - perceptive about many things, blind to others - could well turn out to be as rich a portrait as in any novel this year
This brilliantly plotted novel will keep you guessing until the very end
I loved it!
A compelling read that strikes a chill straight into your heart
A delicious study in dark psychology with a narrator who constantly keeps you guessing. This tale serves up a real emotional punch
Spine-tingling
Perfect domestic noir
This elegant psychological thriller is a chilling portrait of the darkness that lurks behind suburban front doors
Creepily brilliant
