Shari Lapena is one of the best thriller writers in the business.

Steve Cavanagh, bestselling author of THIRTEEN

The End of Her is a slippery eel of a novel – just when you think you have it in your grasp, it slithers away on a new current. I consumed it in a day, desperate to discover the fate of the evil Erica. Unputdownable.

Shari Lapena has done it again – another cracking domestic thriller, and trust me, ‘the end’ will leave you clamouring for more.

Another unputdownable suburban thriller with the finest love-to-hate characters and a wickedly paced mystery.

I read the cracking The End of Her in one sitting. All hail the Mistress of the Page Turner.

Gripping, compelling, thoroughly entertaining and devilishly. clever

I absolutely adore Shari Lapena's compulsive thrillers and her new novel is her best yet. More twists than a roller coaster.

I tore through it. It kept me on my toes throughout and the ending was just fantastic. Really tense!

Harriet Tyce, bestselling author of BLOOD ORANGE

Gripping stuff from this masterful storyteller!

Shari Lapena knows how to wrack up the tension.

I raced through the book and thought it was brilliantly creepy.

You won't want to put down Shari Lapena's latest engrossing thriller, which is chock-full of shocks and twists.

One neighbourhood, four couples, an amateur burglar and one dead body – this is a masterful whodunnit, perfectly paced and expertly plotted, that had me guessing all the way through. Like Desperate Housewives with bite. I loved it and couldn't put it down.

Shari Lapena just gets better and better.

It starts with a shocking accusation . . . 
 
Stephanie and Patrick are recently married, with new-born twins. While Stephanie struggles with the disorienting effects of sleep deprivation, there's one thing she knows for certain - she has everything she ever wanted. 
 
Then a woman from his past arrives and makes a horrifying allegation about his first wife. He always claimed her death was an accident - but she says it was murder. 
 
He insists he's innocent, that this is nothing but a blackmail attempt. But is Patrick telling the truth? Or has Stephanie made a terrible mistake? 
 
How will it end?

The latest unputdownable thriller from 'the queen of the one-sit read' Shari Lapena, the multi-million-copy No. 1 bestselling author of THE COUPLE NEXT DOOR.
