    The Other Woman: An addictive psychological thriller you won't be able to put down

    Laura Wilson

    Formats & Editions

    'Brilliant twisty dark farce' ERIN KELLY

    'A nail bitingly tense and original book' SHARON BOLTON

    Praise for The Other Woman

    • Everything that makes for gripping drama. Solid characterisation, emotional depth, a claustrophobic feeling of impending maleficence . . . and a cracking good mystery at its dark heart . . . my best book of 2015 by a mile - Crimesquad

    • Wilson shakes and stirs the ingredients into a beautifully written, gripping and haunting mystery novel - Literary Review

    • Perfectly in tune with current tastes - Financial Times

    • One of our most original and sensitive crime writers - Daily Express

    • Wilson has always been an acute observer of dysfunctional families, and she writes extremely well - Book Oxygen

    • A slow-burn story with brilliant characters built up layer by layer and a plot that comes ingeniously together. A great read - The Bookbag

    • A really beautifully written and atmospheric family drama-cum-psychological thriller here from Laura Wilson - a highly addictive and often haunting read that is utterly gripping - Liz Loves Books
