Reviews
Just the best kind of plot-twisty structure where the writing itself becomes part of the intrigue.
Razor sharp plotting, great writing and the author's lengthy career as a solicitor makes this a pitch-perfect legal thriller. Highly recommended.
THE WOMAN ON THE LEDGE blew me away like THE GIRL ON THE TRAIN blew me away nearly ten years ago. compulsive, clever and gasp out loud twisty, I absolutely loved it.
Wonderfully twisty, fabulously unexpected and immensely satisfying.
Page-turner doesn't cover it!
Breath-taking storytelling. Every time you think you know what's happening you realise you're wrong. Stunning.
An original, unputdownable thriller with ingenious twists, beautiful writing and intricate plotting. Totally unpredictable. I couldn’t turn the pages fast enough. Loved everything about it. Superb.
THE WOMAN ON THE LEDGE by Ruth Mancini is the kind of book that would really benefit from being read in one breathless sitting, ideally on a sunbed, but because of life being a bit ridiculous at times, I read it in about eight-five short sections and it was still the best thriller I’ve read for ages…The best books are the ones you don’t want to put down but equally don’t want to end, and this was definitely one of those. I take my hat off to the author, whilst also asking ‘when is the next one coming, please?
A gripping thriller with a great premise and a twist I didn’t see coming.
A twist-a-minute thrill ride!
A thrill-ride of a novel - dark, riveting and twisty.
THE WOMAN ON THE LEDGE is a deeply satisfying read that makes you look at what justice means in a whole new way.
WOW! I absolutely loved it – THE WOMAN ON THE LEDGE is phenomenal. It’s so perfectly constructed. I really thought I had a grasp on things, but then Ruth totally pulled the rug out from under me. I was blown away by how brilliant it was. It packed a huge emotional punch and is so timely and topical too. It’s an absolute triumph!
A deliciously clever book. Jaw dropping.
This brilliantly written and unique novel had me turning the pages through the night.
Wow, wow, wow… what a superb read! This is a really clever and meaty thriller with such a meticulous plot.
So full of twists and turns it will make your head hurt – in a good way!
A tense novel.
A twisty tale that will keep you on your toes.
Her insight as a London defence lawyer shows as this psychological thriller twists and turns and keeps you up all night... Shocks galore!
This twisty mystery is truly original and I didn’t have a clue what was coming!
A dark and compelling legal thriller.
A twisting tale
A clever idea and an even cleverer plot.
Intriguing premise.
Deliciously dark and tense.
Against this meticulously drawn background is a plot so complex it will make your head spin. But when it reaches its climax and justice is well and truly served, you’ll probably want to cheer. If you’re a woman, you certainly will. And that’s all I’m going to give away. Except – when you start to read this intriguing book, set aside a few hours, because you won’t want to put it down.
