What to expect

From the author of the hotly anticipated Apple TV series Imperfect Women

‘A thrilling escape with the most unexpected twists’ – Elisabeth Moss

YOUR SECRETS AREN'T SAFE.

Ten years ago, Hope left Somerset with a fatal secret and a broken heart. She has spent a decade in the shadows, living a quiet life of penance to protect the man she once loved - the world-famous author Ambrose Glencourt.

YOUR LIFE IS NOT YOUR OWN.

Then, she opens his latest bestseller. To the world, it’s a brilliant work of fiction. To Hope, it’s a betrayal. Every private moment, every dark truth, and every ‘fatal disaster’ from that summer is laid bare on the page.

YOUR TRUTH IS A LIE.

But Ambrose has changed the ending. In his version of the story, Hope isn't the victim. She’s the villain.

Now, Hope must step out of the shadows to reclaim her narrative. But in a world of glamorous elites and whispered secrets, who will believe the word of an unreliable woman against the word of a literary icon?

Two narrators. One truth. And a secret worth killing for.

Praise for Araminta Hall:

‘Razor-sharp, spine-tinglingly convincing and unputdownable’ – Lisa Jewell, author of Don't Let Him In

‘One of the most daring and intriguing writers working today’ – Gillian Flynn, author of Gone Girl

Critics Review

Araminta Hall needs to be your next obsession. She is an utter genius, especially when it comes to writing about toxic relationships. Unreliable Narrator is clever, beautifully written and next level creepy. I loved it to death
Lisa Jewell, author of None of This is True
What a dark, immersive feminist thriller. Hall writes so powerfully about monstrous men, and the privilege that allows them to exist; about the women they break so carelessly; and about a glittering setting that turns out to be as toxic as it is intoxicating. But – as her name suggests – there is always Hope, and I was cheering her protagonist on as she became increasingly intent on reclaiming her narrative and wreaking justifiable revenge. Clever, sharp, and simmers with a perfectly contained rage
Sarah Vaughan, author of Anatomy of a Scandal
Evocative and menacing, Unreliable Narrator moves in a direction you won’t expect towards a gripping, really satisfying conclusion
Harriet Tyce, author of Blood Orange
One of those books that will stay with me long after I've finished turning the pages
Nikki Smith, author of They Had It Coming
Araminta’s books always promise to be thrilling escapes with the most satisfying and unexpected twists, and Unreliable Narrator proves to be no different
Elisabeth Moss
I have long admired Araminta Hall’s exquisite, razor sharp writing and this is no exception. In Unreliable Narrator, she fillets every tiny bone of nuance, takes a fresh look at power dynamics and asks how much we can trust what we are told – even by our own memories
Holly Seddon, author of 59 Minutes
I lost myself completely in this dark, twisting dream of a book, brilliantly written, immersive and gripping until the last line. I just loved it
Eve Chase, author of The Secret Thread
Araminta Hall never takes her foot off the pedal – even when you never knew there was a pedal. It’s a masterful, unnerving, thrilling book – don’t expect to be the same at the end as you were when you began
Catriona Ward, author of Nowhere Burning
What are our deepest fears? That the people we love are not who they claim to be, that we are not who we believe we are. This is the stuff of Unreliable Narrator – chilling, gripping suspense that dances on the edge of madness
Chris Pavone, author of The Doorman
Unreliable Narrator is a towering achievement – confronting, deeply compelling and beautifully written, with a simmering message of both rage and hope . Araminta Hall has a rare gift and this novel is, truly, standout
Rosie Walsh, author of The Love of my Life
Brilliantly clever, with a big splash of glamour. An intoxicating and absorbing exploration of truth, memory and perspective. Araminta Hall is a warped wonder
Anna Mazzola, author of The Book of Secrets
