‘Unpredictable, challenging and compelling’ Sophie Hannah, author of Did You See Melody?

From the first time I saw them together I knew it felt wrong. I didn’t like the way he touched her or the self-conscious way he played with Molly and Luke. Joanne saw none of it of course. So I did it to prove to her that she was wrong. I did it for us.

Emily’s instincts tell her that best friend Joanne’s new boyfriend is bad news. Emily fears for Joanne. Fears for Joanne’s children. But Joanne won’t listen because she’s in love. So Emily watches, and waits . . . and then she makes a choice.

But Emily has a past, and secrets too. And is she really as good a friend to Joanne as she claims?

Steve Mosby
A superb writer
The Times
As always, Bruce produces a rewarding read
R J Ellory
Menacing and insidious
Daily Mail
Bruce is doing for Cambridge what Colin Dexter did for Oxford with Inspector Morse . . . She uses her city just as deftly as Dexter did his, however, and adds subtle touches of feminine intuition and guile. Her plots are deceptively simple, yet describe the frailties of the human heart with a rare skill . . . The death propels Goodhew back into police work. His innate dignity and Bruce's flair make her one of our most interesting crime writers

Never before have I read such a compelling, chilling read that kept me intrigued from beginning to end . . . If you adore psychological thrillers and books such as The Girl on the Train, then this is a must read!
The Independent
It's all orchestrated (from opening adagio to allegro finale) with authority
Amanda Jennings
A wonderful standalone from Alison Bruce whose DC Gary Goodhew novels have built her a reputation as a master of her craft. I Did It For Us held me from the off. It's compelling, slickly plotted and brilliantly written
Mystery People
The final twist is a corker that I did not see coming... Alison Bruce is better known for her police procedurals, but on this showing, she's every bit as skilled and creative when she turns her hand to a psychological thriller
Cath Staincliffe
The tension is ratcheted up to the bitter end!
The Times
Unusual and interesting
Paul Johnston
An exciting debut from a very promising new talent
Sophie Hannah
Alison Bruce is fascinating. Her imagination is always unpredictable and her writing is challenging and compelling
