Loved Gone Girl? (Who didn't?) This is the Brit version; another relationship that's not as it seems, but with a London flavour. Warning: you won't want to put it down * Glamour * A creepily effective thriller, Whitehouse ramping up the chills with her dark wintry weather and her glimpses into the creation of a disturbed mind ... She marshals her creations to an enjoyably nail-biting, spine-tingling denouement * Observer Thriller of the Month * A classic psychological thriller * Mark Billingham * Before We Met by Lucie Whitehouse gets down and dirty in Hannah and Mark's marriage and is as tense a read as Gillian Flynn's Gone Girl ... Read in one sitting * ASOS Magazine * A fiendishly spun tissue of lies and charm eventually gives way to a bloody showdown * Independent * You start off walking as the story unravels, then you're jogging along, and by the end you're hurtling towards the climax; and the ending is spectacular * Kate Mosse * Layer upon layer of paranoia and suspicion make this novel a compulsive read. This is a thriller that plays on deep human vulnerabilities and emotions, carrying the reader from chapter to chapter **** * The Lady * The tension builds revelation by revelation and barely loosens its grip throughout * Independent * The delicate unravelling of relationships in 'Chick Noir' is a new guilty pleasure. Enjoy * Grazia *
