PRAISE FOR HOLD YOUR BREATH:‘To open B P Walter’s exceptional new thriller is to step through a cellar door: the air cools, your vision dims… and just a few steps later, you’re tiptoeing across the floor, desperate to switch on a torch — yet frightened of what the light might reveal. Attention, readers of Lucy Foley and Lisa Gardner: Hold Your Breath is your next favourite read’ A.J. Finn, author of The Woman in the Window‘Creepy, absorbing and thoroughly unnerving’ T.M. Logan, author of The Holiday‘A smart thriller with a difference’ Gillian McAllister‘I was gripped by this harrowing and disturbing novel. Beautifully written’ Emma Curtis‘Wonderfully creepy’ Fiona Cummins PRAISE FOR B P WALTER: ‘Devilishly well-plotted, crisply written – and a hell of a lot of fun. What a smashing debut!’ A.J. Finn‘Beguiling, surprising and sometimes shocking. Cleverly crafted with characters who stay with you. A highly-polished debut’ Jane Corry‘Day one of my holiday lost to B P Walter and his intriguing thriller A Version of the Truth. If you like Peter Swanson, this will be right up your dark, twisted alley’ John Marrs‘A Version of the Truth is engaging and sinister in places. Walter has created wonderfully authentic characters, and the writing is superb. Highly recommended’ Elisabeth Carpenter‘Walter's debut is an assured piece of world-building, with characters both flawed and real, and a crescendo that sweeps you up then crashes you down. Unpredictable, clever and subtly twisted. Loved it’ Helen Fields‘A dark and sometimes disturbing debut; a compelling story with credible characters. Walter emerges as a powerful new voice in the world of thriller writing’ Diane Jeffrey
