Media Reviews
It's exceptionally accomplished...The structure is so dazzling it almost distracts you from the quality of the writing. Guardian S J Watson's debut doesn't put a foot wrong...brilliantly simple...Unforgettable. FT WEEKEND Before I Go To Sleep is an astounding piece of work ...a tour de force, a haunting tapestry woven from a single woman's ragged thoughts, desperate to make sense of the past she constantly forgets... This is writing of the highest calibre. -- Chris Simmons Crimesquad.com A taut and terrifying novel, with a grip of steel. woman&home An unsettling, compulsive thriller...A truly gripping read.
