Reviews

When They Find Her opens with an unthinkable wallop to the heart, and takes off racing from there through a perfectly crafted, tightly written, deeply emotional story that taps into the most uncomfortable fears of motherhood and marriage. A stand-out psychological thriller with heart.
*Ashley Audrain, Sunday Times bestselling author of *

Superb debut thriller - assured, elegant and utterly gripping. EXCELLENT
*Will Dean, author of The Last Thing to Burn*

Brilliantly written ... I felt every single emotion and was immediately swept up into the story. I'll be recommending it to everyone I know
*Sarah Pearse, author of The Sanatorium*

Uncomfortable and compelling - a story which is truly the stuff of nightmares. Couldn't put it down
*Catherine Cooper, Sunday Times bestselling author of The Chalet*

The barrister background of this writer makes the police and court procedural parts of this story particularly powerful . . . Middleton has a lawyer's keen eye for telling detail but the real strength of the story comes from the convincing depiction of a mother's love . . . a promising debut from a new voice
*Daily Mail*

A twisty tale of parental love and a lie with terrible consequences. Dark, intense and so compelling that I read it in a single sitting
*Allie Reynolds, author of Shiver*

A brilliant concept that pulled me straight into the story and kept me hooked to the end
*Nikki Smith, author of All in Her Head*

An unnerving and gripping thriller in which a split-second choice plunges the protagonist Naomi into a web of terror and lies. Deftly written and chillingly plausible ... a bold, compelling and clever debut
*Philippa East, author of Little White Lies*

A tense and claustrophobic rollercoaster
*Nina Manning, author of The Daughter in Law*

An unforgettable debut with a truly chilling opening chapter that hooks you in and doesn't let go. Clever, compelling, pacy and powerful
*Diane Jeffrey, author of The Silent Friend*
