‘Diamond is the master of gripping literature’
Evening Standard
‘A terrific story, originally told. All hail the new queen of crime!’
Heat
‘A web of a plot that twists and turns and keeps the reader on the edge of their seat. This formidable debut is a page-turner, but don’t read it before bed if you’re easily spooked!’
Sun
‘A page-turner with a keep-you-guessing plot’
Sunday Times Crime Club
‘Diamond neatly handles a string of interlocking strands’
Daily Mail
‘This gem of a crime novel is packed with twists until the last page’
Closer
‘A deliciously dark read, Katerina Diamond keeps her readers guessing throughout as she leads us on a very secretive, VERY twisted journey … everything I was expecting from a well-written, pacy thriller’
Lisa Hall, author of Between You And Me
‘A dark, twisting tale that won’t fail to captivate’
Mint Velvet
‘Wow, I thought The Teacher was fantastic but The Secret is on another level. Was gripped all the way through and kept me guessing as the story unfolded’
NetGalley Reviewer
‘Another grim and gory spider’s web from Katerina Diamond – closely following on from The Teacher and not letting up on the twists and turns’
Goodreads Reviewer
‘An impeccable novel with nail-biting chapters … Katerina Diamond deserves the title of Queen of Crime, because I’ll be damned if anyone writes novels like she does. 5* doesn’t do this book justice’
The Brunette Bookshelf
‘Has the feeling of a nightmare come to life …’
LoveReading
‘The suspense is literally out of this world’
Compelling Reads
‘A dark and twisted tale that had me gasping in fear’
