Wrenching, twisting, love-soaked and tense, Wilding's debut is everything a thriller should be

Bonnie Burke-Patel, author of Dead As Gold and I Died At Fallow Hall

So clever and brilliantly observed. I felt so acutely [Liv's] agonising dilemma, her fear for her son and the sometimes brutal nature of love. I definitely let out a few gasps at the end! It reminded me a lot of Broken Country – which I also loved

Emily Edwards, author of The Herd and Private Lives

This twisty debut asks not just how far we'd go for those we love, but whether one person's life can ever be worth more than another's - a thought-provoking page turner that will keep you guessing to the very end

Lucy Atkins, author of Windmill Hill and bestselling Magpie Lane

A devastating moral dilemma that asks how far a mother would go to stay alive for her child. Gripping, thought-provoking, and impossible to put down

Emily Freud, author of Her Last Summer and The Cliffhanger

This taut thriller simmers with the slow-burn tension of a life-threatening dilemma that has no easy answers. Wilding writes vivid prose that elevates a unique scenario to make for a compelling read. Recommended for a deliciously dark book club read that will have you asking 'What would I do?'

Jo Furniss, author of Guilt Trip

A perfect blend of heart and guts (pun intended), The Waiting List is a deft and sensitive exploration of a horrifying dilemma, and the lengths we will go to protect the sanctity of a much longed-for family. Beautifully written, and searingly insightful, this is an intelligent and propulsive debut balancing all the right elements of a true psychological thriller

Lizzy Barber, bestselling author of Out of her Depth
