Critics Review

  • Really clever concept and some great characters and twists. It’s a real joy to read something totally original, smart and thought provoking.

  • Gripping from the start and full of surprises, this kept us up long after lights out

    Heat
  • wonderful concept, ridiculously entertaining … an absolute pleasure, the malevolence and impishness of a young Roald Dahl

    author of What Alice Knew
  • fantastic … I can’t remember the last time I was simultaneously this entertained and this disturbed. The One is a clever story with great pacing but it’s the characters that make this a standout thriller.
