Press Reviews

• SOPHIE HANNAH

  SUPERB... As a novel about the dark side of marriage and relationships, it's better than Gillian Flynn's Gone Girl

• S.J. WATSON

  Beautifully written and deeply unsettling, this darkly funny examination of what happens when you've got nothing left to lose is also brilliantly addictive. It left me almost breathless as I raced towards the devastating finale

• KATE ATKINSON

  A deliciously wicked pleasure... A very clever, very funny comedy of manners spliced with a domestic thriller

• TESS GERRITSEN

  This is an utterly compelling story, gorgeously written and with so many shocks and surprises... I raced through it. My highest recommendation

• S.J. BOLTON

  The characterization is exceptionally well done, the writing stylish and mature... this is a very accomplished psychological thriller

• MAIL ON SUNDAY

  After Gillian Flynn's Gone Girl, novels about toxic marriages are suddenly in vogue. The Silent Wife is the classiest of the bunch... A smart psychological chiller

• www.cosmopolitan.co.uk

  Reminiscent of Gone Girl in that it's written in the alternating voices of the couple, it's every bit as addictive. You'll be thinking about it for months to come

• SUNDAY EXPRESS

  This will be the book everyone will be talking about by the end of summer, it will be the number one choice for book clubs and well-thumbed copies will be passed between friends and work colleagues with glowing recommendation... The term "must-read" is often bandied around and not always deservedly. The Silent Wife justifies the plaudit without question

• THE TIMES

  The Silent Wife attracted much political publicity, but its author died a few weeks ago... The hype was largely justified. It is inevitably being compared with last year's mega-hit, Gillian Flynn's Gone Girl... The Silent Wife is psychologically more interesting

• SUN ON SUNDAY

  If you enjoyed Gillian Flynn's Gone Girl, you'll love this unsettling psychological thriller

• GUARDIAN.CO.UK

  The Silent Wife is one of those books you hate to put down. Harrison writes well with a light touch, but her touch is devastating nonetheless... Profoundly disquieting

• SUNDAY MIRROR

  Beautifully written and superbly paced, not to mention full of ingenious twists. Fans of Gone Girl will love it

• DAILY EXPRESS

  A gripping psychological thriller

• DAILY TELEGRAPH

  This summer's blockbuster novel

• JOJO MOYES

  Utterly believable, complex, and compelling

• SUNDAY TIMES

  This perfectly pitched debut offers sharp insights into the grievances that accumulate over a long relationship, and the lengths to which a woman will go when her world collapses

• DAILY MAIL

  Sharp, witty, dark as hell and totally engrossing... A worthy rival to Gone Girl in its psychological complexity and accomplishment

• OBSERVER

  The slow, murderous disintegration of a marriage is all too believable in A.S.A. Harrison's first - and final - novel... As the novel advances into treacherous territory, Harrison's elegant, incisive prose gets dirtier, more dangerous

• THE SUN

  A hit... and you can see why

• HARPER'S BAZAAR ONLINE

  Sharp, psychological and intricate, if you've ever wondered just how far you'd go if you had nothing left to lose, this will make you do a double-take

• VAL MCDERMID

  A terrific debut novel
