Famous Last Words

As a fiction writer myself it’s really, really hard to fool me - I always guess the ending of books - but FAMOUS LAST WORDS blindsided me with twists and surprises that had me gasping…and with a poignancy about relationships and love that one rarely finds in the genre. A brilliant, brilliant book

JODI PICOULT

What an incredible, gripping, thrilling read

LISA JEWELL

A totally fresh read that left me guessing until the very end!

Ashley Flowers

Completely addictive. I was as desperate to find out the truth as any of the characters in the book — if not more so!

Sophie Hannah

Only a Gillian McAllister thriller can make your heart race and then your heart melt from one page to the next! I’m a devoted fan!

Utterly effing magnificent. I could NOT put it down!

Few things make me happier than a new Gillian McAllister book, and Famous Last Words did not let me down. Complex, surprising and utterly gripping.

JANE FALLON

An incredibly page-turning mystery wrapped up in a thoughtful and thought-provoking exploration of a most unusual kind of grief. Absolutely outstanding, one of my books of the year.

ANDREA MARA

Loved it. The plot is so very clever - she’s such a deeply satisfying writer to read. I kept guessing the twists wrong, of course! And, as ever, it’s the humanity she taps out of the darkness that really gives her stories their great power

The gifted McAllister’s latest stay-up-all-night thriller, which positively rushes off the page and into the imagination…It is mesmerising.

I love a clever thriller that pulls the rug from under your feet… McAllister gets better with every book.

A spellbinding 'whydunnit'. A novel with a difference. Richly layered

It's perfection, every word, every moment. A masterpiece . . . I had my mind blown apart. After I finished it I sat with my mouth hanging open in awe. One of the best books I've ever read
