**SHORTLISTED FOR THE 2021 CWA GOLD DAGGER AWARD** She's a
murderer. Everyone knows she killed Stuart Rees - why else would
his dead body be found in her shed? So now Tabitha is in prison,
awaiting trial. Coming back to the remote coastal village where she
grew up was a mistake. She didn't fit in then, and she doesn't fit
in now. That day is such a blur, she can't remember clearly what
happened. There is something she is missing, something important...
She only knows one thing. She is not capable of murder. And the
only one she can trust to help her out of this situation is
herself. So she must fight. Against the odds. For her life.
Beautifully written about prejudice, loneliness and fighting
spirit, this new book by Nicci French is shocking, twisty and
utterly compelling. Praise for House of Correction: 'A novel that
blissfully plays with two genres: on the one hand an
against-the-odds legal thriller a la John Grisham... and on the
other a Miss Marple whodunnit set in a Devon village, where the
amateur sleuth is herself the prime suspect and has to conduct her
investigation from jail' Sunday Times 'Nicci French
husband-and-wife writing team responsible for some of the UK's best
psychological thrillers have created a gem of a protagonist in
Tabitha, who sets out to investigate what happened to herself, from
prison... House of Correction allows the readers to puzzle out what
happened alongside Tabitha, while cheering her effort' Observer
'First-class' Independent 'The husband-and-wife team of Nicci
Gerrard and Sean French... have taken the ingredients of the
classic village mystery and transformed them into something up to
date and gripping' Literary Review 'Gritty and moving - the
husband-and-wife team have scored another hit' Best 'A twisty and
shocking read' Bella 'Engrossing... In this clever courtroom drama,
Tabitha is on trial for the murder of a neighbour. The evidence
against her is strong and due to the medication she takes, she has
virtually no memory of what happened, but she's sure she's innocent
and has to build a case to clear her name' Good Housekeeping 'I
wanted everything to stop so I could read this book, there was
something that grabbed me from the opening... This is a clever,
well-crafted novel with twists and turns right until the end...
Definitely a favourite read of mine for 2020' Woman's Way (Ireland)
'Describing it as a suspenseful prison thriller, or riveting
courtroom drama doesn't do this meticulously written detective
novel justice... As well as its finely drawn characters and clever
storyline, this is a novel that provokes you into pondering the
workings of the wider justice system, police methods and prison
life' Bookanista 'Great writing, razor-sharp plotting, and powerful
characterisation. I was 100 pages in before I even drew breath, and
I defy anyone to see the ending coming' Cara Hunter 'Part ingenious
locked-room mystery. Part you've-got-thewrong-person nightmare
drama. Part intricate memory game. Yet all seamlessly woven
together. French's best book yet' A J Finn 'Clever, compelling,
original and twisty. This unputdownable David-and-Goliath story has
the flawed, funny, totally unforgettable Tabitha at its heart and I
read until the early hours, desperate to know her fate' Erin Kelly
