Reviews
The tension grows throughout the book until it's almost unbearable. This is a book that will stay with you.Ann Cleeves
It’s been six years since Flint’s debut novel, the compelling Little Deaths, but Other Women is certainly worth the wait. Like its predecessor, this beautifully written, pitch-perfect historical mystery is based on a real case – here, a murder that took place in 1924 . . . a moving study of loneliness, desperation, shame and public prurience.Laura Wilson, The Guardian
Exquisite and my book of the year. Utterly brilliant.Will Dean, author of Dark Pines
[Flint] builds a world that feels utterly authentic, filled with real people struggling to adapt to a social order in flux . . . she writes of a society all too ready to think the worst of a single woman . . . Flint maintains suspense in what is a thoroughly captivating and unsettling page-turner that deserves to land her on awards lists again.Robert Epstein, iNews
