Synopsis

“A dark world of emotional complexity and betrayal, where twist follows twist and nothing is what it seems. A masterful narrative voice, and a compulsive thriller from one of our greatest writers. I absolutely loved it.” – Alex Michaelides, No.1 bestselling author of THE SILENT PATIENT

From the Sunday Times and internationally bestselling, multi prize-winning author Joanne Harris, comes A NARROW DOOR – an explosive psychological thriller about one woman who, having carved out her own path to power, is now intent on tearing apart the elite world that tried to hold her back . . . piece by piece.

Praise for Joanne Harris’s other books set in the St Oswald’s world – which all read as standalone thrillers:

‘Delivers an almighty twist . . . brilliantly atmospheric ‘ The Times

‘Crime novel or literary novel? Categories really don’t matter; readers will find themselves comprehensively gripped’ Independent

‘Marvellously mischievous’ Good Housekeeping

‘A classic whodunnit with the characters carefully crafted and the tension at a knife edge’ Sunday Express

‘[A] delicious black comedy’ Daily Mail
