Sarah Hilary writes beautifully and unflinchingly; a dark, disturbing and thought-provoking chiller of a thriller
- Peter James,
Sarah Hilary's debut, <i>Someone Else's Skin,</i>was widely acclaimed and won lots of awards. <b><i>Quieter Than Killing</i></b>, her fourth, is even more impressive, and DI Marnie Rome is up there in the top division of fictional female detectives
The Times
Hilary is my drop-everything writer; always original, always bang-on psychologically, always gripping. I am a huge fan

Descriptively chilling, completely addictive and with a set of characters and storylines that just dig deep into your subconscious and stay there. Sarah Hilary, with the Marnie Rome series, is without doubt one of the top UK crime writers working today

It's dark, it's brilliant, and it tightens like a noose. Sarah Hilary is downright dangerous.

As tense, twisty, tremendous as ever, Sarah Hilary's QUIETER THAN KILLING nails it
- Angela Clarke,
Hilary's writing is as precise and deadly as a fine blade. <i>Quieter Than Killing</i> is by turns terrifying and tender, with a twisty, gripping plot where no good deed goes unpunished. This is a fine addition to a superb series
- Jane Casey,
The most poignant entry in the series so far

I finished it today and it's <b>completely brilliant, complex, thrilling, brutal, tender, scary and intriguing</b>. What a great book. The pacing is superb, the plot is compelling, the characters are so well drawn. <b>The ending is ingenious</b>
- Richard Jones of Bristol Review of Books,
It's meaty, dark and terrifying. Unflinchingly violent and beautifully big-hearted in equal measure. And <b>Sarah's writing is glorious</b> - she tells us things in new ways, gives us a fully fleshed, sensual world to inhabit for the novel
