Critics Review
‘Getting Away With Murder is one of those brilliantly gripping thrillers you just cannot stop reading. Unfolding in layers it builds to form a compelling and claustrophobic moral dilemma. I was hooked.’ * JENNIE GODFREY, No.1 Sunday Times bestseller of The List of Suspicious Things *‘Shari Lapena is far and away one of the best psychological thriller writers in the world today and an absolute auto read author for me. She is never afraid to take risks, never formulaic and always intensely bingeable. I love her.’ * LISA JEWELL, No.1 Sunday Times bestseller of Don’t Let Him In *‘A chilling and deadly whydunit. Nobody gets beneath the skin of their characters like Shari Lapena, and she does it unflinchingly and with impeccable flair in this sharp, gripping thriller. GETTING AWAY WITH MURDER deftly reveals our deepest, darkest impulses as it asks: when money is the motive, is anyone really who you think they are?’ * GILLY MACMILLAN *‘A thriller to really go overboard for’ * Cara Hunter *‘Nobody does it like Shari Lapena, you’ll struggle to put this one down’ * Cara Hunter *‘You’ll struggle to put this one down. A thriller to really go overboard for!’ * Cara Hunter *‘Wickedly fun, glamourous and chilling. Shari Lapena flips the script masterfully yet retains her trademark twists and killer ending’ * Chris Whitaker *
‘How does Shari Lapena get better and better with each book? I adored this tale of an adoring couple living in their luxury mansion who run out of money and prepare to do the unthinkable to save themselves. Morally bankrupt and utterly selfish, I found myself rooting for them every step of the way. What does that make me? Splendidly entertaining, full of morally dubious characters, I could not have loved this more.’
* LIZ NUGENT, bestselling author of Strange Sally Diamond (Irish Book Awards crime novel of the year) *‘It’s no mean feat to get the reader rooting for a pair of heartless killers, but root you will - with every tense, uncomfortable, thrilling step of Jill and Ted’s criminal journey. Another cracking read from Shari.’ * LOUISE CANDLISH, Sunday Times bestselling author of Our House *‘Tense, claustrophobic and relentlessly paced, this is a wickedly fun read. I couldn’t put it down.’ * MARY WATSON, Sunday Times & No.1 Irish Times bestselling author of The Cleaner *About The Author
