'Victoria Selman is an exciting and powerfully fresh voice' Patricia Cornwell

Twelve-year-old Sophie and her mother, Amelia-Rose, move to London from Massachusetts where they meet the charismatic Matty Melgren, who quickly becomes an intrinsic part of their lives. But as the relationship between the two adults fractures, a serial killer begins targeting young women with a striking resemblance to Amelia-Rose.

When Matty is eventually sent down for multiple murder, questions remain as to his guilt -- questions which ultimately destroy both women. Nearly twenty years later, Sophie receives a letter from Battlemouth Prison informing her Matty is dying and wants to meet. It looks like Sophie might finally get the answers she craves. But will the truth set her free -- or bury her deeper?

Can't wait to see what Selman does next * Sarah Pinborough, bestselling author of Behind Her Eyes * A creepy, engrossing novel which plunges the dark depths of a serial killer and his crimes. But also a meditation on memory, culpability and acceptance that gives a much-needed voice to the unspoken victims of heinous crimes. And with a properly surprising ending * Araminta Hall, author of Perfect Strangers * No one knows serial killers like Selman * Elle Croft, author of The Guilty Wife * Totally compulsive . . . darkly epic stuff * Sarah Sultoon, author of The Source * Manages to be both a gripping-as-hell psychological thriller and a remarkably astute study of evil. A work of style and substance that leaves you with the uncomfortable suspicion that your world, and the people in it, are far more dangerous than you had imagined * Dominic Nolan, author of Vine Street * Genuinely original, darkly compelling and psychologically astute, Truly, Darkly, Deeply is a real page turner exploring not only what it means to be a monster but also what it is like to love one. I swallowed it in two sittings racing to get to the story's chilling conclusion. A perfect story with real heart * NJ Mackay, author of Found Her * Victoria Selman has created something original, completely absorbing, and utterly persuasive. I was right there in eighties north London, held breathlessly in situ, right up until the final, shocking twist. Magnificent * Charlotte Philby, author of A Double Life * Gripping from the opening page, it ratchets up the tension while constantly forcing the reader to question what they think they know. A compulsive and hugely satisfying read * Brian McGilloway, author of Borderlands * Truly, Darkly, Deeply by will be huge in 2022, a twisting, chilling tale that had me hooked from the start full of heart and characters that jump off the page' * James Delargy, author of 55 * Truly Darkly Deeply is a gripping exploration of a serial killer's legacy. A deft and atmospheric journey into darkness, with twists and turns that will keep you guessing until the final page. Highly recommended * Adam Hamdy, bestselling author of the Scott Pearce series * From the start Truly, Darkly, Deeply had me completely hooked. A story that gets under your skin and haunts you long after the final page * Eva Bjoerg AEgisdottir, author of Girls Who Lie * A deliciously dark tale of one family's terrible secrets.

Fiendishly clever and compulsive * Laura Marshall, author of Friend Request * I was hooked from the first page right through to the shocking ending. Dark, addictive and compelling, this is a book that will keep you up all night * Lisa Gray, author of the Jessica Shaw series *
