Dazzling - a pitch-perfect thriller
I was instantly gripped and held captivated by the pace and elegant writing. I devoured it in two straight sittings
Riveting! One of the most compelling page-turners I've read in years. Twisty, turny, and with an ending not to be missed!
The Girl Before is a cat-and-mouse game that toys with our expectations and twists our sympathies. At times almost unbearably suspenseful, it keeps us guessing from the first page to the very last. Don't miss it
A masterfully crafted spellbinder . . . guaranteed to astonish
Superior psychological suspense . . . a cleverly constructed thriller
Riveting . . . Writing with precision and grace, Delaney strips away the characters' secrets until the raw truth of each is revealed
A guaranteed best-seller
The tension is built up subtly, leading to a devastating climax. A really clever thriller . . . [the film] will no doubt become the third big 'Girl' film
A deeply addictive literary thriller that deserves to be one of this year's biggest successes
Original and entertaining
Get hooked on this hair-raiser about a woman who scores what seems like her dream home . . . until she finds out the mysterious fate of the previous tenant
The Girl Before is deservedly anointed the 'top girl' of this season's suspense novels
Creepy . . . The buzz around this could not be fizzier
Constantly cranking up the suspense . . . a thoroughly satisfying read
A great thriller and one that instantly hooks you in, in the very first line, and never lets you go . . . utterly compelling and very satisfying . . . A wonderful portrayal of psychological obsession at its creepy best
Enthralling
A guaranteed best-seller
Slick, sexy, suspenseful and smart
A compulsive, sexy thriller that's set to soar
The plotting is exceptionally well thought-through
A crisp psychological thriller
The most intriguing plot idea I've seen in a good while
The Girl Before is more than worthy of the accolades . . . a complex triangle of twisted obsession . . . say goodbye to your nails
Ingenious
JP Delaney builds the suspense
This is going to be the buzziest book of 2017 . . . This year The Girl Before will be that book
Genuinely eerie . . . beautifully handled . . . the pages fly
One of the best thrillers you'll read in 2017
Original and brilliantly written
A remarkably poised (debut) psychological thriller
An outstanding debut that is more than a match for Paula Hawkins's The Girl on the Train
A fast-paced page-turner
Horribly compelling
A tense psychological thriller, replete with twists and turns
