Nicci Cloke

Stunning: so clever, so gripping, so timely. This deserves to be huge

From the very first page, this thriller is unique, punchy and super-smart. Her Many Faces is itself so multifaceted, so rich - a courtroom drama, a character study, a social commentary - but it wears each guise with real heart and style.

Beautifully written, experimental, and fast-paced. I’m addicted.

Her Many Faces had me gripped from the start and I raced through it in two sittings. Clever, twisty and with such a unique narrative method that I was second guessing Katie Cole's guilt or innocence throughout, this novel firmly stakes Nicci Cloke's claim as the breakout suspense writer of the year, and she can count me as her number one fan!

An ingenious, indignant, beautifully wrought psychological thriller. Nicci Cloke had me fooled repeatedly and I absolutely loved it.

Ingenious and gripping – I loved it

A clever, fast paced but emotionally insightful book. I loved it

HER MANY FACES is a masterfully plotted thriller - original, assured, and emotionally insightful. Cloke has a new fan in me!

I can’t remember the last time I read such a quietly sensational page-turner. Astute, compelling and beautifully written, HER MANY FACES shines a light into the dark corners of power, family and obsession

A fresh, original and stunningly written thriller – I couldn’t stop turning the pages to get to the end. So clever.

Stunningly original and smart, Her Many Faces had me reading late into the night, promising myself “just one more chapter”. I had chills down my spine the closer I got to the end and the perfectly plotted resolution. Relevant and timely. And genuinely SO good

SAM HOLLAND, award-winning author of the MAJOR CRIMES series

Her Many Faces is a tour de force, intricately plotted and yet so readable. I raced to the end, never sure of Katie Cole’s innocence or guilt and fascinated by the many twists and turns. A brilliant read I will be recommending to everyone!

AMANDA REYNOLDS, bestselling author of CLOSE TO ME

Thoughtful, clever, subtle and socially aware. The best suspense I’ve read in a long time. The writing put me in mind of Abigail Dean.

Original, gripping, twisty and so well written

A brilliantly unique novel; perfectly combining depth of character with suspenseful mystery. I devoured this in a day - a phenomenal read

Now and again, a crime novel comes along and reinvigorates the genre - HER MANY FACES by the brilliant Nicci Cloke is this novel. Staggeringly good and genuinely unique, with endless twists and moral grey areas. If ever a book deserved a standing ovation, it's this!

So cleverly told, so gripping, so much heart, surprising to the last page. Utterly brilliant

Nicci Cloke has pulled off a masterstroke with this dazzling novel. Fresh, thought-provoking and highly original, Her Many Faces is a portrait of a young woman on trial through the lens of the men who think they know her. When we hear her voice at the end, it is all the more devastating for it. Beautifully written, fiercely intelligent and with gripping characterisation, this thriller has it all.

An insightful, captivating, and multi-layered tale of suspense that perfectly encapsulates the times we’re living in now. Sharp, timely, and impossible to put down

Fast paced, gripping and so unique. Had me guessing right till the end - and I still guessed wrong!

A unique and twisty thriller told in a kaleidoscope of voices; a smart and timely exploration of who gets to tell their story. Unputdownable!

Clever, twisting, timely, gripping - and like nothing else I've read. Her Many Faces is a unique and satisfying read that you won't soon forget
