A terrific novel with a brilliantly creepy central premise. One of the best debut thrillers I have ever read
PAULA DALY
DISCLAIMER stealthily steals your attention and by the end holds you prisoner - a searing story that resonates long after the final page. The best thriller I’ve read this year
ROSAMUND LUPTON, bestselling author of Sister
Sensationally good psychological suspense … exactly what a great thriller should be
LEE CHILD
Fabulously gripping, I just could not put it down.

You may as well just surrender now and read it and enjoy it because it's not going to go away - and deservedly so

Superb debut . . . Knight paces the novel beautifully

An addictive novel with shades of Gone Girl

A fine example of the genre . . . unbearably tense

Will this actually be the next Gone Girl? Well . . . it doesn't disappoint . . . The narrative is elegantly written . . . a maelstrom of appalling revelations and twists, certainly very clever and entertaining
Daily Mail
Renee Knight skilfully peels away the layers of her story to reveal a tale that is dark, deep and skin crawlingly sinister. I thought it was faultless, a masterclass in thriller writing.
Colette McBeth
It's knockout
Tweet from Claudia Winkleman
Prepare to cancel all other commitments

I read Disclaimer in two sittings . . . It's that good. . . The premise is the star of the show but Knight's success lies in keeping her plot, characterisation and unpredictability up to that same standard.

Tense and shocking, and full of twists and turns

An ingenious and involving tale and a very successful first novel

New York Times
A deeply probing, intense psychological thriller that was gripping and very difficult to put down

Renee Knight's stunning debut is a thriller with a particularly literary flavour, but also with a heart. Best enjoyed slowly, with no skipping to the heart-wrenchign conclusion. Terrific.
Saga Magazine
Renee Knight's DISCLAIMER is something special . . . an outstandingly clever and twisty tale that's been perfectly engineered to make heads spin
New York Times
The marvel of the new suspense novel "Disclaimer" is that it lives up to its unusually gripping premise. Disclaimer forms a trinity alongside "Gone Girl" and the "The Girl on the Train" as the best of domestic noir. That this is a first novel from Renee Knight, a British television screenwriter, makes her sure hand with what’s sinister that much more stunning.
New York Daily News
A superior piece of dark emotional fiction that will get under your skin.
Sainsburys magazine
A faultlessly constructed, page-turning debut, Disclaimer delivers its twists and surprises with ease. It is both clever and moving, and I'm full of admiration.
