Editorial Reviews

Tense, twisty, addictive and deeply emotive, If You Didn’t Kill Her is a cleverly written, utterly compelling read that had me furiously turning the pages and guessing all the way to the nail-bitting denouement. Unmissable! - A.A. Chaudhuri -

Taylor examines the complex nature of female friendships, and how you can love and hate with equal measure - - Woman & Home

Taylor writes poignantly about the struggle to adjust to life outside after a long prison sentence...it's a thought-provoking novel, raising questions about attitudes that derail investigations and lead to wrongful convictions - - The Times
