My Husband's Son is a compelling debut from Deborah O'Connor. It is a twisted, almost voyeuristic suspense novel that will really keep you guessing until the end (...) it is the first book of many, I am sure, in a very successful writing career for Deborah O'Connor

My Husband's Son by Deborah O'Connor is the best novel I have read this year. In fact it was so good I literally could not put it down, and finished it in one sitting. Everything about it is worthy. From the narrative written in first person, the plot and the ending

Low and Proud Book Junkie
The characters in this book are complicated and flawed, and so very human
A Bookaholic Swede
Absorbing, moving and with a stunning twist in its tail, this is a story that will leave your heart broken, your nails bitten and your brain whirring...
Pam Norfolk
Lancashire Evening Post
The smartly layered twists in this psychological thriller will keep you gripped
The Sunday Mirror
This is an interesting debut thriller (...) The skill of the book is enabling the reader to identify with the emotions the characters are feeling even if, fortunately, you have never had to experience a similar situation yourself
All Things Bookie
The characters are determined, relentless, consumed and damaged. The plot is dark, captivating, and full of multiple twists that took me on an emotional roller-coaster ride, through moral and ethical dilemmas, until an extremely unusual end that I just didn't see coming. It is a slow burning story with an insidious undercurrent, that got under my skin and stayed there. The book is well paced with many secret side plots that kept me thinking and guessing but, to me, the best thing about it was the moral dilemmas that it threw up and which I am still thinking about a few days after I have finished it
Breakaway Reviewers
If you love a thriller with an excellent twist, this is definitely the one for you
Hello Magazine
I really did enjoy this and I'm really glad I picked it up (...) I found this to be so gripping that I finished it in two days - I just couldn't put it down

Sparkles Books
This is a well-written suspenseful debut that will take readers by surprise, not least in its ending
The Sun
The ending... it's suitably tantalising, twisty and ambiguous enough to make a shudder run down my spine! (...) This is an extremely competent and convoluted psychological chiller to satisfy even the most warped mind
BeadyJans Books
This first novel is an accomplished piece of work (...) This good novel follows the contemporary fashion for 'human story' thrillers, in which ordinary people are confronted with unusual and testing circumstances. This one takes its readers on an interesting journey
Philip Womack
Literary Review
The last third of the novel moves faster, reveals the broad answers, and the conclusion is interesting, yielding food for thought
Michelle Shine
Books with Allie - 'The secrets in this book makes it a very interesting reading (...) The ending shocked me (...) and the plot was great. The author did a great job and keeps the reader really engaged (...) the characters were also great. The best part for me was the relation between the characters (...) if you are a fan of thrillers I'd definitely recommend picking this one up (...) it is also very well written and kept me engaged the whole time
Alice Morgan
Books with Allie
'Deborah's debut novel is gritty, seedy and the ending totally shocked me. It got right under my skin and I couldn't shake off the feelings it evoked in me for days. A fantastic debut novel, I can't wait to read more by Deborah in the future.'
Bloomin Brilliant Books
'O'Connor will make you question your own prejudices, and it's in the moral complexities that My Husband's Son really comes alive. No matter what you feel about the main characters, this is a book you'll want to see through to the end.'
