What to expect

Brought to you by Penguin.

The phenomenal new thriller from the multi-million-copy bestselling author of Before I Go To Sleep.

Blackwood Bay. An ordinary place, home to ordinary people.

It used to be a buzzing seaside destination. But now, ravaged by the effects of dwindling tourism and economic downturn, it’s a ghost town – and the perfect place for film-maker Alex to shoot her new documentary. But the community is deeply suspicious of her intentions. After all, nothing exciting ever happens in Blackwood Bay – or does it?

Blackwood Bay. An ordinary place, home to an extraordinary secret.

Praise for S J Watson:

'An exceptional thriller. It left my nerves jangling for hours after I finished the last page' Dennis Lehane

'Suspenseful on every page' Anita Shreve

'A taut and terrifying novel, with a grip of steel.' Woman & Home

'An unsettling, compulsive thriller...A truly gripping read.' Marie Claire

Critics Review

Watson adroitly [brings] the strands of his story together to create a disturbing journey to a shocking truth
The Observer
Creepy and packed with suspense and menace, it draws the reader into a community that has more than its fair share of skeletons to hide.
Daily Mail
Dark and twisty, and full of surprises and so smartly done.
Joanna Cannon
S J Watson has done it again. Even more compelling than Before I Go To Sleep
Lesley Kara
S J Watson, pacing his story with mesmerising expertise, keeps you so invested in the fates of his characters
Jake Kerridge, Sunday Express
I loved that behind this disturbing and clever plot there's a genuinely heartrending story.
Emma Curtis
An intriguing and unsettling new thriller.
Fabulous
If you go down to Blackwood Bay, you're in for a dark surprise. FINAL CUT is a masterfully tense, taut and terrifying thriller.
Tim Glister
There are so many twist and turns I was out of breath when I finished
Matt Cain
An expertly crafted thriller. Claustrophobic and unnerving. Watson at his very best.
Will Carver
