    Praise for Someone Else's Skin (D.I. Marnie Rome 1): Winner of the Crime Novel of the Year

    • A slick, stylish debut. And one that certainly got under my skin

    • This is a corker: twisty, tricksy and, on occasion, seriously scary - Observer

    • I absolutely loved it. One of the best crime novels - not just debuts - I've read for ages

    • An impressive debut... The book's central theme is domestic violence, which Hilary handles unflinchingly with force and passion. DI Rome is an appealing creation - The Times

    • So brilliantly put together, unflinching without ever being gratuitous and I love the way Sarah writes - every other page has a line I wish I'd thought of myself. It's the best crime debut I've ever read and deserves to be MASSIVE

    • A thrilling debut - Express magazine

    • A truly engrossing read from an exceptional new talent. Hilary writes with a beguiling immediacy that pulls you straight into her world on the first page and leaves you bereft when you finish. Intelligent, emotional and totally unexpected in terms of where it goes. I truly loved this book

    • It's a simply superb read - dark and thrilling - Sun
