[Wilson] writes excellent mystery novels with a strong sense of place, era and character, and a humane voice that's perhaps too rare in crime fiction . . . The Wrong Girl amply confirms these gifts
Thoughtful, scary and true, this is reminiscent of Barbara Vine at her best
A slow-burn story with brilliant characters built up layer by layer and a plot which comes ingeniously together
Wilson is one of our most original and sensitive crime writers. This is a gripping novel about three generations of women in one family uncovering each other's secrets
Beautifully written and atmospheric family drama-cum-psychological thriller
My best book of 2015 by a mile. I absolutely loved it
Wilson shakes and stirs the ingredients into a beautifully written, gripping and haunting mystery novel
