THE NEW THRILLER FROM THE MASTER OF PSYCHOLOGICAL SUSPENSE
squo;He did kill. Kill and kill and kill.dsquo;
Tess squo;s number one priority has always been her three-year-old daughter Poppy. But splitting up with Poppy squo;s father Jason means that she cannot always be there to keep her daughter safe.
When she finds a disturbing drawing, dark and menacing, among her daughter>squo;s brightly coloured paintings, Tess is convinced that Poppy has witnessed something terrible. Something that her young mind is struggling to put into words.
But no one will listen. It squo;s only a childesquo;s drawing, isnasquo;t it?
Tess will protect Poppy, whatever the price. But when she doesntsquo;t know what, or who, she is protecting her from, how can she possibly know who to trust . . . ?
osquo;What an intriguing, compelling page-turner. I ate it up in two dayslsquo; Liz Nugent, author of Our Little Cruelties
'I love Nicci Frenchvsquo;s books, and with The Unheard they are right at the top of their game. Few crime writers can match their psychological acuity, of their ability to lead a reader through dizzying plot twists without ever losing pace. Itisquo;s an absolute masterclass of crime writing' Kate Rhodes, author of the Locked-Island Mystery series
Praise for Nicci French:
'Confirms Nicci French as the giant of the genre' Erin Kelly
?squo;Part ingenious locked-room mystery. Part you?squo;ve-got-the-wrong-person nightmare drama. Part intricate memory game. Yet all seamlessly woven together. French?squo;s best book yet?squo; A J Finn

?squo;A novel that blissfully plays with two genres: on the one hand an against-the-odds legal thriller ?grave; la John Grisham?ellip; and on the other a Miss Marple whodunnit?squo; Sunday Times
