What to expect

Random House presents the unabridged, downloadable audiobook edition of What Alice Knew by TA Cotterell, read by Gemma Whelan.

'Intriguing and layered ... an impressive debut' Shari Lapena, author of The Couple Next Door
'It made me look at marriage in a different light' Jane Corry, author of My Husband's Wife'

How far would you go to keep a secret?

Alice has a perfect life – a great job, happy kids, a wonderful husband. Until he goes missing one night; she receives a suspicious phone call; things don’t quite add up.

Alice needs to know what’s going on. But when she uncovers the truth she faces a brutal choice. And how can she be sure it is the truth?

Sometimes it’s better not to know.

Critics Review

An intriguing and layered psychological thriller, What Alice Knew will hold you fast till its startling conclusion—and then you’ll want to talk about it to anyone who will listen. An impressive debut.
Shari Lapena, author of 'The Couple Next Door'
Intriguing and compelling – it made me look at marriage in a different light …
Jane Corry, Author of 'My Husband's Wife'
The suspense [is] beautifully sustained ... the writing is finely crafted.
Joanne Harris
A tale of crime and morals ... an intriguing crime mystery that blends elements of psychological suspense and marital drama ... If you read this thinking you know where the story is going to go, just you wait. What Alice Knew is a tale of what it means to be a woman, a wife, a mother, a daughter, a sister and an artist. But more than anything, it’s a story of humanity, in all it’s ugliness and beauty, and the things people are willing to do for the ones they love.
Culturefly
T. A. Cotterell masterfully conjures up the suffocating atmosphere that envelopes the couple as they navigate the mental trauma of maintaining a complex web of lies ... An intriguing, well-constructed and dramatic debut.
Times Literary Supplement
If you love crime thrillers that look at relationships (see The Widow by Fiona Barton or My Husband's Son by Deborah O'Connor), this is definitely one for you. The novel subverts the usual 'whodunnit' angle of mystery novels and instead looks at what happens after you know who 'did it', and what you would do. Would you reveal their secret, or protect them at any cost?
