Wow. This one will keep your bedside light on until the small hours - it's unputdownable.
Atmospheric and psychologically acute throughout - Sunday TimesKent is an extremely fine writer and makes terrific use in particular of the Fens' waterlogged, empty landscape in which secrets can be easily buried if never quite forgotten . . . Terrifyingly good. - MetroChristobel Kent is one of our most assured thriller writers. The Loving Husband is a perfectly paced and plotted novel. - Good HousekeepingUnsettling domestic thriller . . . Spooky and skilfully written, this is one to race through - Sunday MirrorFirmly in the currently fashionable "domestic noir" genre, but this is no catchpenny trend-chasing; Kent effortlessly rises above other entries in the field . . . the familiar is confronted and inverted and Kent's ace in the hole is her keen penetration of the characters' psychology, particularly that of beleaguered heroine Fran - Financial TimesShocking in the extreme. The Loving Husband is a twisted psychological thriller - SunA finely-crafted series of flashbacks . . . excellent thriller . . . tense, dense, extremely well-plotted and beautifully written, this is a fine example of the Domestic Noir genre - Sunday Irish IndependentA tautly plotted trail of red herrings, scares and eventual revelations that keep the Gone Girl fever-type buzz alive - Weekend Sport
