Lucy Clarke goes from strength to strength; this utterly addictive, trouble-in-paradise novel is her best yet. The plot shifts like sand beneath the reader’s feet.
I’m breathless, I raced through the last third hardly coming up for air. Talk about twists and turns. I loved the beautifully realised setting, the evocative descriptions of Greece, the food, I loved how Lucy handles such a wide varied vibrant cast of women with emotional depth and intelligence, I loved the jolts and shocks along the way . . . this is going to blow everyone’s socks off! ONE OF THE GIRLS is next level.
I loved ONE OF THE GIRLS: beautiful writing, suffused with menace, complicated female heroines, and an ending I couldn’t predict.
Lucy Clarke is definitely one of my favourite authors. I loved the vivid setting of the Greek island. I felt like I was there - hearing, smelling and tasting everything as the sense of unease and mystery expertly unfolded. An immersive, clever and compelling read with memorable characters at its heart."<br />
With an exquisite setting that crackles with tension, ONE OF THE GIRLS is a page-turning voyage to a remote Greek Island where friends old and new have gathered for a hen weekend. Dark and atmospheric, Clarke expertly renders the complicated female relationships with their intertwined alliances, secrets and betrayals. Lucy Clarke has proved, once again, that she is a master of the thriller genre.
Exquisitely drawn with all the twists and turns you’d expect from Lucy Clarke … this was a delicious escape from the world … not to mention as close as I’ll get to a Greek Island for a while. I loved it!

An addictive sun-soaked thriller with a killer twist. Unmissable
I loved it. It actually made me cry when Eleanor and Bella were in the boat together. Yes, you wrote a brilliant and twisty thriller but it is also such a moving story of female identity and friendship and forgiveness - honestly it was a joy to read
This gorgeous book . . . I recommend it so much. Set in Greece it has all the ingredients of Lucy’s thrillers that make you feel like you’re sat around the pool with a cocktail in hand. As the sun goes down the secrets and cracks begin to show. Lucy’s writing takes you in one direction then effortlessly throws you another, and I could not put this book down . . . Gripping
ONE OF THE GIRLS is beautifully escapist and brilliantly suspenseful. I devoured it – and loved every minute. The writing is both elegant and sassy, and the characters are perfectly drawn. With the sun-soaked setting and the emotionally-driven mystery, it's got all the hallmarks of a classic Lucy Clarke novel – and is her best yet"<br />
Expertly plotted and so compelling with twist after brilliant twist, ONE OF THE GIRLS is the perfect addictive holiday read. I loved everything about it. This is her best yet
From the first page I was transported to the intoxicating Greek island setting of ONE OF THE GIRLS, and found myself held there, breathless, until the last. Every paragraph was beautifully captured, every character perfectly formed, with plotting and pacing to die for.
