Before She Knew Him - Tapa dura

"This acutely perceptive writer has become a master of psychological chills and thrills, transforming what appears to be 'cosy domestic' into something infinitely more dangerous and deadly... A sizzling slice of his unique brand of domestic noir... Tingling with tension [and] brimming with menace."--The Guardian (UK)

"What would you do if you began to suspect your next door neighbor was a serial killer? That is the dilemma faced by artist Hen - and the jumping off point for this very contemporary thriller that will keep you gripped through every elegant twist and turn."--Sunday Mirror (UK)

"A wicked thriller that does not disappoint... Another gem that pulls the reader in and never lets go, even as the story comes to a close. This is a book that will keep you up at night and haunt your thoughts. A fun, chilling read."--Manhattan Book Review

"Woven into this twisty-turny murder thriller is mental illness and the instability it causes. Maybe worse than not being able to rely on yourself is that other people might not believe you. How can they be sure you're not being paranoid, or manic, or obsessive?"--The Big Thrill

"In Peter Swanson's expert hands, one woman's discerning observation at a quiet suburban dinner party unfolds into a gripping, twisty, psychologically complex thriller. I could not put it down."--Alafair Burke, New York Times bestselling author of The Wife

"A twisty, fast-paced tale that depicts picket-fence suburbia's seamy, murderous underside... Swanson is at his best in exploring the kinship--or what some see as the kinship--between artist and killer, one of the themes of Swanson's great model and forebear, Patricia Highsmith... A dark, quick-moving, suspenseful story."--Kirkus Reviews

"What would happen if a serial killer met the perfect confidant, someone who would never be believed if they revealed his secrets? Nothing good... Swanson has crafted another bar-raising psychological thriller with this tense, unexpected spin on serial killers and those obsessed with them."--Booklist
