Reviews

When They Find Her opens with an unthinkable wallop to the heart, and takes off racing from there through a perfectly crafted, tightly written, deeply emotional story that taps into the most uncomfortable fears of motherhood and marriage. A stand-out psychological thriller with heart. Superb debut thriller - assured, elegant and utterly gripping. EXCELLENT Brilliantly written ... I felt every single emotion and was immediately swept up into the story. I'll be recommending it to everyone I know Uncomfortable and compelling - a story which is truly the stuff of nightmares. Couldn't put it down The barrister background of this writer makes the police and court procedural parts of this story particularly powerful . . . Middleton has a lawyer's keen eye for telling detail but the real strength of the story comes from the convincing depiction of a mother's love . . . a promising debut from a new voice A twisty tale of parental love and a lie with terrible consequences. Dark, intense and so compelling that I read it in a single sitting A brilliant concept that pulled me straight into the story and kept me hooked to the end An unnerving and gripping thriller in which a split-second choice plunges the protagonist Naomi into a web of terror and lies. Deftly written and chillingly plausible ... a bold, compelling and clever debut A tense and claustrophobic rollercoaster An unforgettable debut with a truly chilling opening chapter that hooks you in and doesn't let go. Clever, compelling, pacy and powerful Had me hooked from the first page ... a gripping and twisty story of grief, fear and the fierce bond of motherhood A brave and suspenseful debut that had me turning pages deep into the early hours. Truly superb It's been a long time since I've stayed up late to finish a book. When They Find Her is not only utterly gripping but also a sensitive and moving portrayal of parental love. Middleton's astute writing made me feel as though I was there was Naomi in her every moment of tension Utterly gripping . . . I could not put it down Nail-biting ... some truly fabulous unexpected turns make this an altogether gripping and provocative read Claustrophobic, intense, unsettling and drags you into the story ... Unbelievably exciting 'Nightmarish, dark and twisty, I galloped to end. A domestic psychological drama with polish' A really gripping read that will make you stay up late to finish it Full of suspense Expand reviews
