This meticulously plotted novel will suck you ever deeper into its dark underbelly. Sinister, clever and utterly compelling. * Lesley Kara, author of WHO DID YOU TELL? * This had me gripped from start to finish. Smart, twisty and totally compelling * Jane Fallon * I skidded up to the finish line of The Hit List by the lovely Holly Seddon. I loved the intricate, clever plot, the tricky women and the heart-stopping moments. I am now lying down in a darkened room. Wow! Just wow * Fiona Barton * What would you do if you found your own name on a hit list? Seddon addresses this terrifying question in an explosive novel. One of the most exciting, brave and clever books I have ever read. The Hit List is my book of the year. * Gillian McAllister, author of How to Disappear * Cleverly and intricately plotted, with a huge variety of interesting and believable characters, this fast-paced book will keep you hooked well into the night. * Catherine Cooper, author of THE CHALET * Pacy and tense . . .

Unsettling subject matter deftly handled, this book is ingeniously plotted and full of suspense. * Lisa Ballantyne * Bloody hell, what a story! I was enthralled from start to finish. The Hit List is one of those books I wish I'd had the idea for. The twists were relentless, the pacing superb and I actually wasn't ready for it to end. * John Marrs * The Hit List is a powerful novel about some of the most terrifying crimes that can be committed and I raced through it at break-neck speed. * Mary Torjussen * I was already a Holly Seddon fan, and The Hit List didn't disappoint - stylish, assured and totally addictive. * Isabel Ashdown * A beautifully written book that tackles complex issues on a very personal level. A dark, fast-paced thriller with a hard-hitting emotional impact. * Nikki Smith, author of All In Her Head. * The Hit List is an excellent fast-paced thriller which explores the horror of the dark web through an original and clever, twisting plot.
