Reviews
"Swift and entertaining… Cross Her Heart has a welcome sisterhood-is-powerful vibe; it's a novel that defines women by their relationships with one another, even as their creator is ruthlessly shoving them into position for the next twist."
New York Times Book Review
"The past decade of crime fiction has been remarkable for the huge number of novels… featuring women... Some have been excellent, but most have been indistinguishable... Critics have spent much time searching for well-written, original examples. Sarah Pinborough passes the test. She… is adept at conjuring the unexpected."
Times (London)
"The amazing Sarah Pinborough has done it again with this brilliant, pacy story of lies and deceit."
