Marriage is a prison for Kelly. Her controlling and manipulative husband Christos videos her in the house, has her followed and tracks her every move. She may be desperate to leave, but she’s not stupid. If she runs, he’ll make sure she never sees her children again.
Christos has a mistress, Sylvie, keen to pander to his every whim and even keener to step into Kelly’s shoes, should she ever vacate them.

Praise for THE FIRST CUT
[A] suspenseful Hitchcockian tale . . . [one of the] top ten crime books to take on holiday
Top notch suspense! From first page to last, Knight delivers as she plunges an ordinary married couple into a steadily growing horror of past lies, fresh betrayals and murderous revenge.
'It is some time since I have been so completely absorbed and taken out of myself . . . This is Ali Knight's second book and it is hard to imagine how she can beat it, but I hope to goodness that she does!
The resourceful self-reliance of the imperilled heroine Nicky . . . the large cast and complicated happenings make an intriguing . . . read and Ali Knight writes well.
This thriller will have you on the edge of your seat desperate to read more. Perfect for fans of James Patterson . . . I was left completely shocked with the twist at the end.
Praise for WINK MURDER
Jo Nesbo, Stephen King, Patricia Cornwell and Ali Knight
A tight-plotted, too-close-for-comfort thriller that races to the finish. Pacey and disquieting, Knight's debut hints she might be a successor to Sophie Hannah's queen of suspense crown.
'A really enjoyable read.'
'Crackles from first page to last.'
'Tightly-plotted, high-pitched psychological thriller . . . what bright new talent Ali Knight does so successfully, and with a welcome fresh eye, is broach the great divide between public and private space.' ****
'A fast-paced whodunit.'
'A psychological drama that grips from first to last'
A clever thriller with a heartfelt depiction of an abusive marriage, this is a gripping read
A powerful portrayal of an abusive marriage and an utterly engrossing tale of corruption and obsession'
Ali Knight knows how to write a thriller that grips and doesn't let go. A compelling portrayal of a woman fighting to escape an abusive marriage with a totally unexpected twist.
Well plotted and maintains the suspense until the finish . . . It also has a nice twist at the end.
