Critics Review

When They Find Her opens with an unthinkable wallop to the heart, and takes off racing from there through a perfectly crafted, tightly written, deeply emotional story that taps into the most uncomfortable fears of motherhood and marriage. A stand-out psychological thriller with heart.
Ashley Audrain, Sunday Times bestselling author of
Superb debut thriller - assured, elegant and utterly gripping. EXCELLENT
Will Dean, author of The Last Thing to Burn
Brilliantly written ... I felt every single emotion and was immediately swept up into the story. I'll be recommending it to everyone I know
Sarah Pearse, author of The Sanatorium
Uncomfortable and compelling - a story which is truly the stuff of nightmares. Couldn't put it down
Catherine Cooper, Sunday Times bestselling author of The Chalet
The barrister background of this writer makes the police and court procedural parts of this story particularly powerful . . . Middleton has a lawyer's keen eye for telling detail but the real strength of the story comes from the convincing depiction of a mother's love . . . a promising debut from a new voice
Daily Mail
A twisty tale of parental love and a lie with terrible consequences. Dark, intense and so compelling that I read it in a single sitting
Allie Reynolds, author of Shiver
A brilliant concept that pulled me straight into the story and kept me hooked to the end
Nikki Smith, author of All in Her Head
An unnerving and gripping thriller in which a split-second choice plunges the protagonist Naomi into a web of terror and lies. Deftly written and chillingly plausible ... a bold, compelling and clever debut
Philippa East, author of Little White Lies
A tense and claustrophobic rollercoaster
Nina Manning, author of The Daughter in Law
An unforgettable debut with a truly chilling opening chapter that hooks you in and doesn't let go. Clever, compelling, pacy and powerful
