Reviews for The First Cut
'A psychological drama that grips from first to last'
Choice
'A fast-paced whodunit.'
Woman and Home
'Tightly-plotted, high-pitched psychological thriller . . . what bright new talent Ali Knight does so successfully, and with a welcome fresh eye, is broach the great divide between public and private space.'
Daily Mirror
'Knight's promising debut . . . crackles from first page to last . . . She could be very good indeed.'
Daily Mail
'A really enjoyable read.'
Martina Cole
A tight-plotted, too-close-for-comfort thriller that races to the finish. Pacey and disquieting, Knight's debut hints she might be a successor to Sophie Hannah's queen of suspense crown.
