Disclaimer

It doesn’t feel like a debut at all. Renee shows such magnificent skill in plotting amazing characters and creating dark and atmospheric story.

Disclaimer is a dark and compelling debut, questioning trust, love, secrets and revenge. Make sure you clear your diary for a day or two before getting well and truly stuck in…

An enthralling thriller. 

An unsettling page-turner of The Girl on the Train variety that will live on in readers’ imaginations

An intelligent and twisty thriller.

This unsettling psychological thriller about guilt and grief briskly moves to a shocking finale enhanced by its strong characters.

The best thriller I’ve read this year

This is a good psychological thriller with the ever-popular unreliable narrator, in this case two of them, along with lots of family drama. Sure to appeal to fans of Before I Go to Sleep, by S. J. Watson

This debut British psychological thriller engages the reader from page one; mystery aficionados will dash to finish it in one sitting. Deliciously captivating, brilliantly twisty, and enticingly addictive, it hits the trifecta for a strong thriller!

A masterclass in plot, pace and twist. I gulped it down in one.

Atmospheric and twisting and ripe for TV adaptation...an addictive psychological thriller. 

It’s Disclaimer that turns out to be the Gone Girl of the season 

Scriptwriter Renee Knight has found her niche in the thriller and this assured debut holds the reader’s attention throughout. The timing of the suspense and the denouements is judged with surgical accuracy. 

The control of the reader’s sympathies, the construction and pacing and interweaving of Catherine and Stephen’s narratives, past and present, are remarkably accomplished in an addictive novel that has parallels with Gone Girl, but shows no sign of brazenly jumping onto that book’s bandwagon

The storyline was so packed with love , revenge , trust , obsession, family and loneliness

Renee Knight skilfully played on my emotions, changing my opinion of all of the characters who populate this book with an ease that left me reeling.

Knight has brought the art of the unreliable narrator into extremely sharp focus. As a reader, I was continually unseated. I felt sorry for Catherine, then my sympathy was punctured. Stephen was an object of loathing, until a neat twist made him the victim. The ‘facts’ of the long distant summer’s day which are the focus of Stephen’s book are juggled, a kaleidoscope presenting as many views as there are characters to follow. No-one’s viewpoint is unsullied.
