I dont know how she does it, but again, its her best book yet. Absolutely stunning storytelling, with layer after layer deftly and tantalisingly revealed, and a denouement that is so perfect, so devilishly clever, and yet I didnt see it coming. A true masterpiece * Andrea Mara * A top-notch thriller, featuring the most endearing protagonist that I can easily identify with - a nosy middle-aged woman who stumbles across the story of a missing girl and decides to investigate it herself. Alternately cosy and harrowing, it investigates the most toxic family I have ever read. Superbly written with wit and class, Lisa Jewell remains at the top of her game with this entertaining and twisty thriller * Liz Nugent * Nobody does dark, dysfunctional families like Lisa Jewell. A writer at the top of her game who consistently smashes it out of the park. I devoured It Could Have Been Her in a day. A deliciously twisted gem of a thriller and her best yet. She really is a genius storyteller. * Claire Douglas * Lisa Jewell books are a must read for me. She creates living, breathing characters you recognise, but also because you can never tell where she is going to go next. I only know that its going to be dark! * Jojo Moyes * Twisty, twisted and oh so dark. Lisa Jewell once again proves herself a master of suspense. * Riley Sager * Deliciously dark, devilishly addictive and beautifully written. This gripping, twisted tale will keep you guessing until the end. Nobody writes like Lisa Jewell * Alice Feeney * Lisa is a rare gem of a writer, creating characters that feel steeped in their own histories, plots that feel straight from prime time tv, and endings that always, always stick. The main thing readers should know about her writing is that you will always be glad youve read a Lisa Jewell novel - and likely will straightaway order your next * Gillian McAllister *
