"A gripping page-turner."--The Sunday Times on The Missing One
Praise for Lucy Atkins
"Atkins keeps the suspense high to the startling conclusion."--Publishers Weekly on The Other Child
"The real power in novels of this type comes in the degree to which the author captures the psychological and emotional conflicts the protagonist must go through. Atkins handles this masterfully."--PCA/ACA Mystery & Detective Fiction Reading List on The Other Child
"A deliciously creepy novel fueled by fraud, greed, and violence . . . Fits right in with the best of the psychological thrillers on everyone's lists. Readers of Ruth Ware and Gillian Flynn will love it."--Library Journal (Starred Review)
"Wholly original and utterly unputdownable, The Night Visitor delivers a superb story of suspense with a personality all its own . . . Every book should be as fun to read as this one."--Crime by the Book
"Meticulously plotted suspense . . . Evocative writing heightens the sense of impending doom created by the tale's structure . . . Harrowing."
--Publishers Weekly
"[A] sense of unease keeps pushing all the way to the last, intense pages. A reckoning is coming, but why? . . . With shades of Rebecca and The Secret History, Atkins has produced an eerie page-turner that will have readers guessing from the first."
--Kirkus Reviews
"Shifting between London, Sussex, and the idyllic South of France, Olivia and Vivian learn knife-edged truths about themselves and discover just how far each will go to protect her reputation."
--Sir Reads a Lot
"A compelling tale of psychological suspense."
--The Popular Culture Association Mystery and Detective Fiction Caucus
"Thrilling . . . The sort of book you think about even when not reading, and stay up far later than you should to finish. Atkins is a master of suspense; she creates characters that you feel like you've met, and situations you never want to be in. Completely wonderful."-- Dr. Suzannah Lipscomb, historian, author, and TV presenter
