Road Kill

No one captures the deadly foibles of the middle classes better than Sabine Durrant.

ERIN KELLY

With shades of Patricia Highsmith, Sabine Durrant is an author in her prime.

JENNIE GODFREY

There are very few thriller writers who I feel as fiercely and passionately loyal to as Sabine Durrant. Every book is a gem, polished to perfection, dark in all the right ways and riven through with so much sharp humanity, intense atmosphere and spellbindingly beautiful writing. She is, it's not an exaggeration to say, my favourite thriller writer, full stop.

Road Kill is a mesmeric, fast-paced rollercoaster of a read with a killer twist

Lisa Jewell

The perfect summer thriller - completely addictive, with a gorgeous, sun-soaked atmosphere that slowly curdles from carefree adventure into something altogether more sinister - plus a twist you'll never see coming. No one does middle-class nightmares like Sabine Durrant - she is a master at creating characters you think you know, only to flip your expectations completely on their head. Original, brilliantly twisty and genuinely unsettling — I’m in awe of her. A stunning achievement.

Katherine Faulkner

A freakishly amazing story from Durrant who is the undisputed queen of twisted destination thrillers. And my favourite author of the moment

Katy Brent

Darkly compelling, sizzles with a deliciously sinister undercurrent of dread throughout. Buckle up - this is one trip you're not going to forget!

Izzy Broom

Sabine Durrant never disappoints but here she excels herself: Road Kill is a cool, clever novel without a single wasted word, and I think it's her best yet. A brilliantly twisty narrative stays one step ahead of the reader all the time. Beautifully written and deceptively simple, this is an outstanding book and one that will stay with me for a long time

Jane Casey

Smart, sharply written, and compulsively readable. Sabine Durrant’s Road Kill is a masterclass in psychological suspense. I devoured it

Lucy Clarke

Sabine Durrant can do no wrong

Clare Mackintosh

The masterclass in misdirection

Sarah Hilary

Unlike so many bestselling authors, Sabine Durrant isn't afraid to be intelligent; she writes suspense for discerning readers. And the exhilarating Road Kill is my favourite kind of thriller: where the characters and their choices (particularly the bad ones) power the plot, paced by writing that's sharp and supple and subtle. Durrant twists a simple premise like a Rubik's Cube - first you'll wonder about the stranger in the driver's seat, and then you'll wonder about... well, everything else. A word of warning: maybe don't read it in the car

AJ Finn

Road Kill had me on the edge of my seat. Character driven suspense at it's very best. Sabine Durrant is so talented

Jennie Godfrey

'A new Sabine Durrant is always a reason to turn off the phone, call in sick, hide from your family until the book is finished. Road Kill is simmering psychological suspense of the highest order, and confirms her as the rightful heir to Patricia Highsmith’s throne

Erin Kelly

Atmospheric, addictive and dripping with menace, Road Kill is another gripping journey into the heart of darkness with the queen of destination thrillers
