The Top Ten Sunday Times Bestseller
THREE HOURS TO SAVE THE PEOPLE YOU LOVE
A TOP 10 SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER & A BEST BOOK OF 2020 IN THE SUNDAY TIMES, TIMES, GUARDIAN, TELEGRAPH, STYLIST, RED AND GOOD HOUSEKEEPING
A TIMES & SUNDAY TIMES THRILLER OF THE MONTH
In rural Somerset in the middle of a blizzard, the unthinkable happens: a school is under siege. Children and teachers barricade themselves into classrooms, the library, the theatre. The headmaster lies wounded in the library, unable to help his trapped students and staff. Outside, a police psychiatrist must identify the gunmen, while parents gather desperate for news. In three intense hours, all must find the courage to stand up to evil and save the people they love.
'A brilliant literary thriller... moving, masterly' Sunday Times
'Amazing' Davina McCall
'Extraordinary... Three Hours is much more than a nail-biting thriller; it is a disquisition on values: of love and hate, of sacrifice for others, of risk-taking and courage' The Times
'A novel that you live rather than merely read' Telegraph
'It is early days, but this could be one of the thrillers of the decade. If you read only one thriller this year; make it this one: it is that good' Daily Mail
'Three Hours intersperses scenes of breath-sucking tension with stirring meditations on human nature' Sara Collins, Guardian

Marian Keyes

Three Hours is one of the most exhilarating reading experiences I've ever had. Rosamund Lupton takes a dark, painful subject and turns it into a novel full of hope and compassion. An amazing achievement.

Stylist
-
The drip-feed of information keeps the reader hooked and setting the story over three hours creates extraordinary tension that builds to a nerve-wracking crescendo. A gripping white-knuckle ride
Daily Express

An incredible, unbelievably powerful book... I forgot how to breathe as it explored what it means to be human - for better or for worse. It's taut, it's tight, it's appalling, it's uplifting, it's extraordinary. Simply stunning
Dinah Jefferies
