The Innocents by Laura Lippman
As five we were mighty, the points on a starOnce we five joined, it was never boys against girlsTwo of our triangles cut themselves off and ran away together, and we were never whole again. Never.‘The Innocents is compelling, suspenseful – everything a great thriller should be – but it is SO much more than thatThat rarest of books – a nuanced and beautifully literate page-turner – this confirms what many of us have known for some time. Laura Lippman is not just the author of top-notch psychological thrillers, she is one of the finest writers in America. Simple as that.’ Mark Billingham
‘A story that ripples with menace, sorrow and the dark churn of adolescence—the prices families pay for secrets, the things we can’t look at in ourselves.’ Megan Abbott, bestselling author of The End of Everything
‘Lippman delivers an emotionally complex drama that cements her reputation as one of the smartest crime writers around.’ People Magazine
Lippman has long excelled at believable psychological suspense.’ Guardian
‘Exquisite as fine jewellery.’ Lee Child
‘A corker… engrossing.’ Observer
