“Brilliant. . . . [Candlish’s] plots are complex, her pacing slow and steady, and her settings take you right to the heart of the place. As for character, well, if you can resist a narrator whose hate is all consuming and whose thirst for vengeance is as steady as a metronome, you should avoid good crime fiction. I read this book in two afternoons and could hardly stop to sleep. Look for it to end up on some ‘best of’ lists.”
— The Globe and Mail

“Candlish just gets better and better and better. I didn’t read The Heights, I inhaled it. Her sense of place is second to none and her attention to detail is forensic. She’s absolutely at the top of her game.”
— LISA JEWELL, bestselling author of Invisible Girl

“No one creates middle-class characters we love to hate quite like Louise Candlish. [A] thriller of obsessive revenge and intense parental grief would tug at my heartstrings. Smart, addictive, twisting, surprising. Highly recommended.”
— SARAH VAUGHAN, author of Little Disasters

“There are a lot of questions in Louise Candlish’s new novel, The Heights . . . Candlish answers the questions, in her own time, but only after she’s kept us guessing, looking for clues, reading between the lines. This is not a slick, predictable thriller; it’s deliberately bewildering, intentionally a challenge to the reader’s ability to distinguish reality from fabrication. One of her best novels.”
— Winnipeg Free Press

“With Candlish’s trademark twists and turns, this is a slow-burn psychological suspense that examines grief, fear, guilt, and revenge. . . . Readers will wonder who is the real bad guy.”
— Library Journal (Starred Review)

“Impossible to resist, impossible to predict, impossible to put down . . . This is an author at the top of her game.”
— ERIN KELLY, author of Watch Her Fall

“Dark, disturbing, and deeply affecting, this humdinger of a story is full of unexpected twists and is sure to keep readers riveted from first page to last.”
— Booklist (Starred Review)

“Mesmerizing . . . This cleverly constructed novel will keep readers enthralled until the last page.”
— Publishers Weekly (Starred Review)

“Has everything you could possibly wish for—tragedy, obsession, revenge and, yes, love. Another finely-crafted masterpiece from Louise Candlish.”
— B.A. PARIS, author of The Therapist

“There’s nothing quite so chilling as the roar of mother tiger love. Louise Candlish had my heart in my throat. Dizzily dark. Dangerous. Deadly.”
— JANE CORRY, author of The Lies We Tell

“[A] wild adventure . . . Candlish’s storytelling is masterful . . . The story is captivating the entire way through, chock full of twists and turns you’ll never see coming.”
— Associated Press

“It twists and it turns and it twists again. The Heights by Louise Candlish is the very definition of a ‘just one more chapter’ novel. I devoured it. And it’s full of such great writing about the ferocity of maternal love.”
— HANNAH BECKERMAN, author of If Only I Could Tell You

“Candlish keeps readers guessing.”
— PopSugar

“Candlish is back this year with another twisty, compelling thriller, spinning a web out of a chance sighting of a believed dead man on the roof of a very distinctive London building . . . stylish and enticing, with a dark edge that slowly works its way under the skin.”
— CrimeReads

“Candlish is the queen of the sucker-punch twist.”
— RUTH WARE, instant #1 bestselling author of One by One
