-------------------------------------------------------------------
In rural Somerset in the middle of a blizzard, the unthinkable happens: a school is under siege.
Pupils 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.

It's beautifully, elegantly written, SO gripping, intelligent, timely, affecting and moving
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.
Wow! This is a stunner of a book. Staggeringly good
Propulsively plotted and full of vivid characters who earn our concern, Three Hours held me in its eloquent grip
Will chill your blood and break your heart by turns - a masterclass in suspense
ASTONISHING. Powerful, terrifying, heartbreaking
Utterly breathtaking and dazzling
Utterly brilliant, incredibly tense, written with real perception and beauty
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
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
