Simply one of the most disturbing thrillers I've read in years. In short, I loved it, right down to the utterly chilling final line. * Gillian Flynn * I tore through Our Kind of Cruelty - toxic love, obsession and the unflinching unravelling of a mind. Scarily plausible, a great read. * Ali Land * A propulsive and addictive study of the darkness of obsessive love. I was completely gripped from the first word to the last! * Lisa Jewell * A tense, intelligent thriller which kept me gripped and guessing until the last page, and thinking long after that. * Erin Kelly * An addictive dive into dangerous, extreme obsession. A must-read for 2018 * Julia Crouch *
