S J Watson thriller is a Sunday Times bestseller

We are delighted to announce that S J Watson’s first novel, Before I Go To Sleep, will be 6th in the Sunday Times bestseller list this weekend. It has also received unanimous critical acclaim since its publication in April.

‘One of the most fêted authors of the year. His novel is dripping in endorsements… It is a novel that tackles the big themes – life, love, loss – but it is also a superior literary page-turner’
- Helen Davies, THE SUNDAY TIMES

- John O’Connell, GUARDIAN

‘Brilliant premise for a high concept psychological thriller… an absolute cracker… a great idea faultlessly executed’
- Harry Ritchie, DAILY MAIL

‘A terrific first novel - well-written, genuinely unsettling and psychologically very plausible. Thrillers seldom come much better than this’
- Joanne Harris

‘An exceptional thriller. It left my nerves jangling for hours after I finished the last page’
- Dennis Lehane

‘A deeply unsettling debut that asks the most terrifying question - what do you have left when you lose yourself?’
- Val McDermid

‘A deft, perceptive exploration of a fascinating neurological condition, and a cracking good thriller’
- Lionel Shriver

- Tess Gerritsen
