Biographical note
Sarah Hilary's debut novel SOMEONE ELSE'S SKIN won the Theakstons Old Peculier Crime Novel of the Year 2015. It was the Observer's Book of the Month ('superbly disturbing'), a Richard & Judy Book Club bestseller, and has been published worldwide. NO OTHER DARKNESS and TASTES LIKE FEAR continue the DI Marnie Rome series with QUIETER THAN KILLING to follow in early 2017. Sarah lives in Bath.It's meaty, dark and terrifying. Unflinchingly violent and beautifully big-hearted in equal measure. And <b>Sarah's writing is glorious</b> - she tells us things in new ways, gives us a fully fleshed, sensual world to inhabit for the novel
- Julia Crouch,
I think it must be <b>one of the debut novels of next year, if not THE debut novel</b>... (It will be if there is any justice in the world!)
- Caro Ramsay,
<b>Intelligently and fluently written</b> with a clever plot and an energetic pace, dealing with harrowing topics and shot through with humanity, I think <b>Sarah's onto a winning series </b>and I really look forward to reading the next instalment
- Cath Staincliffe,
It's <b>written with the verve and assurance of a future star</b> and deserves to be a big hit
- Steven Dunne,
It has such <b>pace and force.</b> It's very disturbing and <b>builds up to a terrific climax</b>
- Helen Dunmore,
I finished it today and it's <b>completely brilliant, complex, thrilling, brutal, tender, scary and intriguing</b>. What a great book. The pacing is superb, the plot is compelling, the characters are so well drawn. <b>The ending is ingenious</b>
- Richard Jones of Bristol Review of Books,
A mesmerising, gripping novel from the winner of the 2015 Theakston's Crime Novel of the Year for SOMEONE ELSE'S SKIN. . Perfect for readers of Clare Mackintosh and Alex Marwood.
