Deighton is back in his original milieu, the bleak spy world of betrayers and betrayed.

Deighton's outstanding achievement is the nine-volume series chronicling the life and times of Bernard Samson ... Deighton's Samson trilogies are as much about the elusiveness of human interactions as espionage. Spying is not a secret world sealed off from ordinary life but an extension of the world we all live in.

Deighton is a marvel ... few authors writing in the rigorous and finite genre of spy fiction have mastered the craft as well as Deighton ... Mexico Set is a pure tale, told by an author at the height of his power.

For sheer readability he has no peer.

Like lying back in a hot bath with a large malt whisky - absolute bliss.

Len Deighton's spy novels are so good they make me sad the Cold War is over.

Nicola Moriarty has a gift for domestic drama, cracking pace, and skilful narrative timing

Clever, tense and jam-packed with twists and turns you won't see coming . . . while there's quite a large cast of characters to follow, you never lose track of what's happening thanks to Moriarty's polished writing and character-work. Dark, twisty and utterly enthralling, You Need to Know is a gripping domestic thriller with Netflix written all over it. It is yet another unputdownable read from the very talented Nicola Moriarty

You Need to Know offers a tense, well-crafted storyline, interesting, multifaceted characters, and a sensational climax. I think Nicola Moriarty has found her niche in the Aussie domestic thriller genre

Moriarty has delivered another gripping domestic drama about secrets, lies and fractured families. She builds the tension so expertly, with twists and turns leading towards one cracking end, that you may well need to see a chiropractor afterwards

A brilliant thriller

With secrets and intrigue, this is a compulsive read

Moriarty rocks the drama genre

Nicola Moriarty belongs to a family tree laded with writers. She more than holds her own

Nicola's got great pace and snappy dialogue, and I especially like her male characters

Brilliant! Could not put it down. It's utterly gripping and beautifully written.

Smart and compassionate, full of poetry and rage and shy hopes and shredded dreams and missing girls and family secrets.

This is a striking first novel, a chilling insight into an oppressive world, where bad thoughts and bad deeds ripple just below the surface, out of sight.

Chilling and compulsive... a dazzling debut.

Simmering resentments and long-held prejudices boil over in this beautifully realised evocation of small-town America. I I loved it.

An elegant, mesmerizing debut-Anna Bailey explores festering secrets with a with a sharp, yet tender gaze. This book reads like a whisper in the dark.
