Marie O'Hare's voice is really refreshing; funny, bold, wry whilst constantly underpinned by something deeply truthful that really resonated with me. Obviously the pacy and surprising plot kept me turning the pages, but it was the detail and depth of these characters paired with the careful exploration of their relationships that made me stay up til the early hours to finish it. I want to press it into the hands of every woman I know (and maybe, even, some men!). * Kate Sawyer, author of Waterstones Book of the Month This Family * The strong female characters all feeling the strain of patriarchal power in different ways - and their different responses to it - will cause many heads to nod along in recognition and relief. * Emily Edwards, author of Richard & Judy Book Club pick The Herd * Clever, daring, and darkly funny. With huge heart, and at times with teeth, I Know Where You Buried Your Husband is an utterly compelling read. These vividly drawn characters will stay with you long after you put down the book. * Mary Watson, author of The Cleaner *
