Why? What would cause this quiet, kind young mother to commit such a startling act of violence in front of her family and friends? Cora quickly confesses and it seems like an open-and-shut case. But the police commissioner, haunted by these unaswered questions, refuses to close the file and begins his own maverick investigation. So begins the slow unraveling of Cora's past, a harrowing descent into the depths of her own psyche and the violent secrets buried within. The Sinner is a dark, spell spellbinding novel, where the truth is to be questioned at every turn.

And then it would just take a com.pletely different direction. -Jessica Biel The Sinner is unnerving and weird and guaranteed to stick with you weeks later. -Sarah Weinman, editor of Troubled Daughters, Twisted Wives and Women Crime Writers Hauntingly insightful and sensitive. -The Guardian
