THE POINT OF RESCUE, her third, combines a creepily irresistible page-turner with an exploration of motherhood's taboos. Guardian Tension, thy name is Sophie Hannah. In THE POINT OF RESCUE, murder, false identity and infidelity are thet tools Hannah deploys to create a plausible but edge-of-your-seat read. Independent The tension is screwed ever tighter until the final shocking outcome. Daily Express Hannah doesn't allow the tension to slacken for a second in this addictive, brilliantly chilling thriller. Book of the Month, Marie Claire Sophie Hannah just gets better and better, with experience adding rocket fuel to her already high-octane yarns ... Brilliantly cunning and entirely unpredictable. Guardian 'The tension is screwed ever tighter until the final shocking outcome' Barry Forshaw, Daily Express 'Sophie Hannah's ingenious, almost surreal mysteries are so intricately constructed that it's impossible to guess how they will end. It's a compelling and disquieting story, told with the author's usual panache.' Susanna Yaegar, Sunday Telegraph Every so often a writer comes along whose freshness and originality blows the competition out of the water. .Genuinely gripping, full of the unseen and yet fitting twists and turns that make good quality crime fiction such a pleasure Yorkshire Post Hannah doesn't allow the tension to slacken for a second in this addictive, brilliantly chilling thriller. Marie Claire Book of the Month 'Brilliantly creepy' Red Magazine I'm surprised I had any nails left by the end of this addictive thriller. Eve This disturbing tale is a cut above the average crime thriller, with an intelligent and inventive plot that raises questions about identity, guilt and the taboo of unfulfilling motherhood. Psychologies A great read and an involving thriller She 'Hannah's gift for creating real, three-dimensional characters and placing them in extraordinary situations results in a thriller so entertaining you might consider sharing it with everyone one you know... But I suspect, instead you'll keep it to yourself and read it again and again.' Daily Record 'Once again, Hannah's distinctibe mix of first and third-person narratives creates a bewitchingly elaborate plot - the theme of parents' ambivalence towards their children gives it real emotional substance.' John Dugdale, The Sunday Times 'Statistics show that more and more women are committing acts of "family annihilation". In THE POINT OF RESCUE Sophie Hannah tackles this distressing subject with sensitvity, while spinning a cracking story.' Daily Telegraph 'Hannah's novels combine traditional police procedurals with intense psychological thrillers ... compelling' Weekend Herald, Auckland

Todo lo que quería era un poco de paz, algo de tiempo para sí misma, pero no salió como esperaba. Porque Sally conoció a un hombre: Mark Bretherick. Todos los detalles coinciden: dónde vive, su trabajo, su esposa Geraldine y su hija Lucy. Excepto que el hombre en las noticias es un hombre que Sally nunca ha visto antes.
