About this deal

Dark, chilling and compelling. This is one serial killer thriller readers won't be able to put down * Olivia Kiernan, author of The Murder Box *

And what about the woman absently stroking her barely-there stomach and looking off into the middle distance? Well, she may not have been yawning just then but if I was right about her she’d know all about sleep deprivation in less than nine months’ time. What a brilliant read. From the beginning, I was totally immersed . . . riveting and dark, yet so wonderfully written it also felt full of heart * Karen Hamilton, author of The Perfect Girlfriend * Manages to be both a gripping-as-hell psychological thriller and a remarkably astute study of evil. A work of style and substance that leaves you with the uncomfortable suspicion that your world, and the people in it, are far more dangerous than you had imagined * Dominic Nolan, author of Vine Street * The answers will come and along the way the story is compelling, emotive and hugely intriguing. Bravo. A creepy, engrossing novel which plunges the dark depths of a serial killer and his crimes. But also a meditation on memory, culpability and acceptance that gives a much-needed voice to the unspoken victims of heinous crimes. And with a properly surprising ending." - Araminta HallHet gehele boek blijf je je afvragen hoe dit verhaal eindigt. Het verhaal is niet zozeer spannend doordat je al weet wat het oordeel is, maar toch ervaar je een spannende sfeer doordat Sophie een brief van Matty heeft ontvangen en zij terugblikt naar hoe het leven met Matty was. Door deze bijzondere, en ook prettige opbouw, verwachtte ik een hoop van een eventuele wending en einde van het verhaal. Hoewel ik de gekozen wending niet zag aankomen, viel het mij ergens toch tegen en vond ik het wat flauwtjes bij de sfeer van de rest van het verhaal. Thank you to author Victoria Selman, publishers Union Square and Co. and Sterling Publishing Co., and Edelweiss, for an advance digital copy of TRULY DARKLY DEEPLY. I think Selman spins the narrative out a little longer than is necessary, and the denouement runs particularly long. The story centres around a serial killer in the early 80's and told through the eyes of 12 year old Sophie.

There’s no way the detectives won’t have noticed and drawn a conclusion, he thinks. First impressions count, he knows that. He’s made his living out of it.

Truly, Darkly, Deeply

I kinda hate books like this because I never know how to rate them. I didn’t hate it and I didn’t love it so very middle of the road. It happened at 17.27 on a Thursday evening in early autumn. The weather was unsettled and I was out and about for the first time in weeks. An absorbing and captivating read, this held me in its thrall from beginning to end. Brilliant!' SJ Watson Truly, Darkly, Deeply is such a clever, immersive crime novel, and like nothing I've ever read before. I lived every unbearably tense second of Sophie's powerful story, unable to put the book down. It's only January and this could well be my book of the year! * Caz Frear, author of Sweet Little Lies * Sophie is op jonge leeftijd met haar moeder verhuisd naar Londen, haar vader is niet in beeld. Haar moeder krijgt daar een relatie met Matty Melgren. Een man waar Sophie direct een klik mee heeft en wie ze uiteindelijk gaat zien als haar vader. Ze zag nooit iets raars of afwijkends aan hem en voelde zich altijd op haar gemak bij hem, tot het moment dat hij opgepakt werd voor de gruwelijke moorden op jonge vrouwen die Noord-Londen teistert.
