Review
"An intriguing and layered psychological thriller, What Alice Knew will hold you fast till its startling conclusion―and then you’ll want to talk about it to anyone who will listen. An impressive debut." (Shari Lapena, author of ’The Couple Next Door’)
"Intriguing and compelling – it made me look at marriage in a different light …" (Jane Corry, Author of ’My Husband’s Wife’)
"The suspense [is] beautifully sustained ... the writing is finely crafted." (Joanne Harris)
"An utterly gripping brilliant plot and beautiful prose" (Gillian McAllister, author of ’Everything but the Truth’)
"If you love crime thrillers that look at relationships (see The Widow by Fiona Barton or My Husband’s Son by Deborah O’Connor), this is definitely one for you. The novel subverts the usual ’whodunnit’ angle of mystery novels and instead looks at what happens after you know who ’did it’, and what you would do. Would you reveal their secret, or protect them at any cost?" (Hello!)
What Alice Knew by journalist T.A. Cotterell - a domestic suspense novel which Susanna Wadeson (of Harold Fry fame) acquired directly from the author. This is an addictive and absorbing read for fans of twisty, tense novels that focus on relationships, such as Lianne Moriarty’s Big Little Lies and Renee Knight’s Disclaimer.
