A loving husband or a heartless killer...she'd know, wouldn't she?
Fiona Barton's debut, The Widow, was a Sunday Times and New York
Times bestseller, and has been published in thirty-seven countries
and optioned for television. Her second novel, The Child, and her
third, The Suspect, were both bestsellers. Born in Cambridge, Fiona
currently lives on the south coast in West Sussex.
Previously, she was a senior writer at the Daily Mail, news editor
at the Daily Telegraph, and chief reporter at the Mail on Sunday,
where she won Reporter of the Year at the British Press Awards.
While working as a journalist, Fiona reported on many high-profile
criminal cases and developed a fascination with watching those
involved, their body language and verbal tics. She interviewed
people at the heart of these crimes, from the guilty to their
families, as well as those on the periphery, and found it was those
just outside the spotlight who interested her most...
Feted as this year’s The Girl on the Train
*OBSERVER*
The big thriller of the year
*STYLIST*
The ultimate psychological thriller. Barton carefully unspools this
dark, intimate tale of a terrible crime, a stifling marriage, and
the lies spouses tell not just to each other, but to themselves in
order to make it through. The ending totally blew me away.
*LISA GARDNER*
The most buzzed about book of 2016

Stunning from start to finish. I devoured it in one sitting. The
best book I've read this year. If you liked GONE GIRL, you'll love
this. Fiona Barton is a major new talent.
