*** A BRAND NEW NOVEL FROM THE MASTER OF PSYCHOLOGICAL SUSPENSE *** ‘So,' said Mora Piozzi, her lawyer, looking down at her laptop. ‘In brief: you are charged with the murder of Stuart Robert Rees, on December 21st, between the hours of ten-forty in the morning and half-past three o'clock in the afternoon.' Tabitha is accused of murder. She is in prison awaiting trial. There is a strong case against her, and she can't remember what happened on December 21st. She is alone, frightened and confused. But somehow, from the confines of her cell, she needs to prove everyone wrong. House of Correction is beautifully written, clever, shocking, twisty, so believable and utterly compelling. This is another stunningly brilliant novel to relish from Nicci French. Praise for The Lying Room 'Confirms Nicci French as the giant of the genre, upon whose shoulders other writers stand' Erin Kelly ‘It's Nicci French perfection - which, as we all know, is the best kind of perfection. So, so gripping and brilliantly clued' Sophie Hannah ‘Reasserts Nicci French as the master of duplicity, suspense and sleight of hand' Sam Baker 'From the very first page, Nicci French remains one step ahead of us. Expertly paced, psychologically sharp, thoroughly enjoyable' Louise Candlish ‘You know a book's gripping when you sneak away at any opportunity to read it. Meticulously plotted, psychologically astute' Sarah Vaughan ‘A pure adrenaline rush!' Jenny Colgan ‘A multi-layered plot that keeps you guessing until the final page' Jane Corry
