Dark and delicious . . . Daly does it again!

Effortless writing, brilliant storytelling, characters that you really root for (even the villains!) So cleverly done. Her books just get better and better.

Brilliant characters, fast paced and gripping.

An electrifying plot that keeps you guessing to the last.

Yet another gripping, heartbreaking read from a brilliant writer.

I always know I'm in safe hands when I open a Paula Daly novel. She's a hugely talented writer - one of the very best domestic noir authors in the UK - and her ability to craft a twisty, compelling plot is masterful. Open Your Eyes was thrilling, compelling, clever and hugely entertaining. I couldn't turn the pages fast enough.

Ingeniously plotted and wonderfully written.

A fast-moving tightly-wrought thriller. The destination is in fact as unexpected as it’s satisfying - and very thought-provoking.

A Treachery of Spies is a masterclass in thriller-writing. It is a heart-racing, heart-wrenching read, conceived with passion and executed with frightening skill. An awe-inspiring achievement.

This is how you write a prologue. And the rest is exquisite too. A brutally brilliant and extremely clever novel of espionage, heroism, love and betrayal. Bravo.

Through Scott's deeply compelling, deeply damaged characters - police officers, spies, saboteurs, wartime resisters - we witness the desperate moral complexity of wartime covert operations. But then Scott does something more: she shows us those complexities reflected and remade for our own era. Scott writes with such precision, control and understatement, it's impossible to look away.
