Amazon recommended this book to me by email and delivered a week ago. I enjoyed her debut first immensely, but this second book is more confident and mature in style and the plotting is first rate. I really, really enjoyed this.
From the opening chapter right to the end, Ali Knight, drives the plot and always keeps you guessing. I thought I'd worked out what was coming next a few times, and then began to realise that this book is much cleverer than that with genuine twists and turns. The opening...more

Back in August of last year, I read and reviewed Ali Knight's debut novel Wink Murder. I was impressed by her writing then and having just read her second novel The First Cut, I'm still very impressed.
The First Cut is another very cleverly written psychological thriller. The lead characters are not the most likeable of people, they are flawed and damaged individuals who constantly make the wrong decisions, yet the story is compelling.

This book I found took me a little while to get into. I was wondering whether to give up on it but hate doing that to a book and was so glad that I didn't. It really did pick up pace about a third through and couldn't wait to see what happened next. I had no idea of what was to happen at the end. The main characters Nicky and Gregg I had trouble warming to. Nicky I liked more than Gregg though. A good read.
Het begin en het einde waren geweldig maar daar tussenin vond ik het vaak verwarrend en erg lang duren.
Het einde is erg verrassend.
Het einde is erg verrassend.
Zeer goede thriller! Spanning en (on)verwachte gebeurtenissen. Zeker een aanrader.
You really don't want to put it down.
Ok quick read.
