How To Get Away With Murder is the best thriller I have ever read. Gripping, clever, and powerful, Philipson has crafted a novel which had me hooked from the very first page, all the way through to the last nail-biting line. This is an author who does not waste a single scene or word, and knows exactly how to keep a reader guessing until the final moment. That this novel is a debut is absolutely astounding, and I cannot wait to see what Philipson does next.
