Rezensionen / Stimmen
I loved it. JP Delaney has a gift for the unputdownable story ... One twist in particular left me open-mouthed. Brilliant stuff. This'll be in a lot of holiday luggage come the summer * Mick Herron * A characteristically unsettling thriller with an unreliable narrator who reels you in and a twist that made me pivot. With its sultry Mallorcan setting and du Maurier allusions, this is a summer read which exudes menace and is crying out for a TV adaptation * Sarah Vaughan * Mysterious, suspenseful, and suffused with paranoia; I read The New Wife in one sitting, and I couldn't put this sinister book down * Alex Michaelides * Charming and engrossing from the outset, but with a creeping and deeply unsettling sense of menace. I loved the Du Maurier vibes * Sharon Bolton * The tension ratchets up to boiling point in this sun-soaked sizzler about a man struggling to do what's right when everything around him is very wrong * Victoria Selman * Like Daphne du Maurier he sustains the ambiguity deftly and deliciously - whenever a resolution looks imminent, a new development preserves the enigma * Sunday Times * Such a phenomenal summer holiday read. Think The White Lotus meets The Housewives of Beverly Hills . . . this is a gripping and sophisticated thriller that will have you racing through the pages * Glamour * A sun-soaked, pacy beach read * The i * Fast-paced and exhilarating, you'll be hooked! * Heat * Another terrific book from a first-class writer * Daily Mail * Thrilling * Crime Monthly * Another winner from J P Delaney * Belfast Telegraph * Finn must decide whether the duo are victims of circumstance or utterly ruthless in this tense, twisty thriller * Candis * As accomplished as du Maurier and just as unsettling -- Cara Hunter Captivating, disturbing, and shocking . . . I enjoyed every minute of it * Samantha Downing * The king of psychological thrillers . . . Delaney's labyrinthine plotting again keeps the reader guessing, with twists and turns in plentiful supply. Gripping to the very end, The New Wife is a compelling and brilliant read * Hot Press * Gripping * Closer * Subtle, beguiling, twisted * SAGA Magazine * An addictive read * Woman's Own *
