What to expect
'Abbott creates a dark and mesmerising world and, as always, is so brilliant at portraying women and girls and their competition and complexities' Harriet Tyce
'The Turnout has notes of James M. Cain and Alfred Hitchcock, but it's better because it's so fresh and unexpected, so wholly revelatory. This is Megan Abbott working at the absolute height of her talent' Attica Locke
'A dreamy, sexy, a deep dive into a subculture . . . The Turnout is all those things and more, taking you so far into the world of a small ballet school that you feel the characters' aches and pains in your joints, your feet and, most dangerous of all, your heart' Laura Lippman

Critics Review
-
Compulsively readable
Ruth Ware (2021) -
Impossible to put down, creepy and claustrophobic. It’s WHATEVER HAPPENED TO BABY JANE in ballet shoes
Stephen King -
Imagine Black Swan by way of Virginia Andrews’ cult Flowers in the Attic and you have some idea of the dark nature of The Turnout … A twisting, turning story of revenge and redemption
Stylist -
Raw, real and compulsively readable. In The Turnout, Megan Abbott does what she does best – combining family tensions with simmering desire and burning professional ambition
Ruth Ware (2021) -
Dark and juicy and tinged with horror
New York Times -
Charged with foreboding, the novel throbs with gothic tension
Irish Times
