‘That book-blurb saying ""I couldn't put it down"" is usually bullshit, right? For me it was true of Anna Pitoniak's Necessary People. I literally couldn't stop reading. Murder, ambition, toxic friendship. What's not to like?’ * Stephen King * ‘A chilling mix of charm, danger, suspense, and surprises. You think you know where the story is going—but you don’t.’ * Lee Child, #1 New York Times bestselling author * ‘Delicious...Thrilling...I was so mesmerised by this story that I took the longer subway route to drinks more than once so I’d have more time to savour it.’ * Marie Claire, Best Books of 2019 (so far) * ‘Take the simmering jealousy found in many female friendships, ratchet it up, and mix in some seriously Ripley-esque longings for upper-crust lifestyles, and you’ll land at Anna Pitoniak’s utterly enthralling novel...Necessary People is an escapist thriller laced with substantive social commentary. A no-guilt guilty pleasure.’ * Refinery29 * ‘Fantastic...This stirring character study and treatise on the dark sides of ambition, friendship, family, and privilege will hook readers from the get-go.’ * Publishers Weekly (starred review) * 'Pitoniak is an astute social observer, and the novel—a literary thriller about class aspiration and young female ambition—is a twisting delight with a haunting punch. Deceptively nuanced, and impossible to put down, this is escapism with substance... Sheer pleasure.' * Kirkus (starred review) * ‘Deliciously compulsive…Will keep you racing towards the end.' * SA Weekend * ‘Anna Pitoniak is a clever writer who has plotted the downward course of this friendship with subtlety and precision. Thoroughly recommended.’ * Otago Daily Times *
