A beautifully-written debut. Keeps you turning the pages right up to the shock ending that will doubtless come as a complete surprise - one that will stay with you long after you've finished reading...

Intriguing and compelling – it made me look at marriage in a different light …
Jane Corry, Author of 'My Husband's Wife'
I read the last page, closed the book and sat open-mouthed in disbelief ... a suspense-filled, tense, intriguing insight, it had me gripped! I am already hankering for his next one and feel that I will enjoy a long love affair with a new master of psychological genius!
Tracy Shephard
The lines between right and wring, moral and immoral were blurred and I never knew what the characters would do next ... Clever and shocking, a fantastic psychological thriller.
@albainbookland
A compelling read ... an excellent novel and the plotting is top-notch.
@tiny_ickle_jo
Very different from every other psychological thriller I have read ... the perfect book for a book club
Irena_BookDust
Full of tension, questions, secrets and lies... a spectacular finish with fireworks and an unbelievable turn
@Agi_mybookshelf
All I can say is "wow" ... exceptional in its ability to engage, thrill, intrigue and entertain. It's an accomplished, accessible, well-paced novel that rivals all its contemporary popular 'grip lit' titles with relatable characters and a compelling writing style. It's absorbing, arresting and addictive. If you enjoyed "The Widow" by Fiona Barton, "In Her Wake" by Amanda Jennings, "Lying in Wait" by Liz Nugent or "My Husband's Son" by Deborah O'Connor, then you will definitely enjoy this.

A gripping and meaty book ... a must read for anyone who loves a domestic psychological thriller.

An intriguing and layered psychological thriller, What Alice Knew will hold you fast till its startling conclusion—and then you’ll want to talk about it to anyone who will listen. An impressive debut.
Shari Lapena, author of 'The Couple Next Door'
An utterly gripping brilliant plot and beautiful prose
Gillian McAllister, author of 'Everything but the Truth'
A terrific book - compelling and exquisitely told by an author with exceptional talent
Bestselling author, Susan Lewis
A complex and multifaceted psychological thriller filled with intrigue and suspense, What Alice Knew unstitches the threads that hold a marriage together, as a wife is faced with a cruel choice. It’s the ideal book for fans of Jane Corry and Liane Moriarty.

If you love crime thrillers that look at relationships (see The Widow by Fiona Barton or My Husband's Son by Deborah O'Connor), this is definitely one for you. The novel subverts the usual 'whodunnit' angle of mystery novels and instead looks at what happens after you know who 'did it', and what you would do. Would you reveal their secret, or protect them at any cost?
Hello!
A great read with an astonishing twist
People's Friend
Goes straight on the shelf marked 'unputdownable'... scenes of great beauty and moments of great drama ... a splendid debut.
Robert Miller, Redburn Review
A richly layered story

Inside Soap
A must read
Saturday Express

A twisted thriller
Woman & Home
A tale of crime and morals ... an intriguing crime mystery that blends elements of psychological suspense and marital drama ... If you read this thinking you know where the story is going to go, just you wait. What Alice Knew is a tale of what it means to be a woman, a wife, a mother, a daughter, a sister and an artist. But more than anything, it’s a story of humanity, in all it’s ugliness and beauty, and the things people are willing to do for the ones they love.
Culturefly
T. A. Cotterell masterfully conjures up the suffocating atmosphere that envelopes the couple as they navigate the mental trauma of maintaining a complex web of lies ... An intriguing, well-constructed and dramatic debut.
Justin Warshaw, Times Literary Supplement
A fast-paced mystery thriller ... Thanks to Cotterell's convincing characters, you'll find yourself questioning right and wrong, and how far a woman should go to protect her family.
Cosmopolitan
All I can say is WOW! If you are a fan of the psychological thriller genre, then this needs to go on your 'must get' list... Excellent.
