MEDIA REVIEWS

'Sharon Bolton brilliantly skewers a group of over-privileged rich kids. It's a pleasure to watch them discover that actions have consequences as the plot unfolds. Fast-moving, addictive and thoroughly satisfying, this is another winner from one of my favourite crime writers.' - Jane Casey

'The Secret History for Millennials - the twists start early and only get tighter in this compelling thriller about betrayal, crime and class.' - Belinda Bauer

'Clear your diary and knock off your phone because you won't be able to put this book down. With The Pact, we're in the hands of a master thriller writer, one who builds the tension with a perfectly paced plot until a breathless, shocking conclusion.' - Jo Spain

'Another terrifying, shudder-making, utterly compulsive read from Sharon Bolton.' - Jill Mansell
