I adore Holly Watt's storytelling. The Good Listener is an intelligent, involving novel with the pace of the most propulsive thriller, and a story that sweeps you into its emotional heart

Charlotte Philby, author of The End of Summer

It's so rare to read a truly original thriller plot, but this is one. Watt's plotting is so clever that this is a book that you immediately want to reread to collect all the clever clues and misdirections. The interactions between the two women are more than a game of cat and mouse - they're almost a dance. This is the perfect book club book -- there is so much to think about that you're left dying to talk to someone about it!

A fabulous thriller with a premise that had me hooked right from the start. In Clara, Holly has created a protagonist who is broken after facing a mother's worst nightmare but who is then given a chance to find the answer she so desperately seeks. A truly emotional, utterly gripping read - this is perfect book club material. I loved it

Nikki Smith

Tense, heartfelt and profoundly moving. Even murderers need Good Listeners

PRAISE FOR THE LAST TRUTHS WE TOLD: 'Seriously good. Ingenious plotting and the sort of writing that makes you pause and wish you'd penned that'

Sarah Vaughan

PRAISE FOR THE LAST TRUTHS WE TOLD: 'Absolute book-club dynamite. A must-read!'
