'This impressive debut will cleverly draw you in, then spit you out shivering and on edge.'
The Sun

'Compelling and unsettling.'
The Guardian

Who can she trust, if she can't trust herself?

Rachel Teller and her husband David appear happy, prosperous and fulfilled. The big house, the successful business ... They have everything. However, control, not love, fuels their relationship and David has no idea his wife indulges in drunken indiscretions. When Rachel kills a man in a hit and run, the meticulously maintained veneer over their life begins to crack. Destroying all evidence of the accident, David insists they continue as normal. Rachel though is racked with guilt and as her behaviour becomes increasingly self-destructive she not only inflames David's darker side, but also uncovers her own long-suppressed memories of shame. Can Rachel confront her past and atone for her terrible crime? Not if her husband has anything to do with it ... A startling, dark and audacious novel set in and around the Brighton streets, The Liar's Chair will keep listeners on the edge of their seats until the end. A stunning psychological portrait of a woman in a toxic marriage, Rebecca Whitney's debut will show that sometimes the darkest shadow holds the truth you have been hiding from ...

'There are echoes of Gillian Flynn's 2012 blockbuster Gone Girl in this compelling debut ... a fresh example of 'domestic noir', the story focuses on a marriage that is deeply flawed, but this time it is the wife alone at the epicentre ... taut and heart-rending, it paints an uncomfortable portrait of a woman tearing herself apart over a murder she never intended to commit.'
The Daily Mail

'A stylish, Brighton-based psychological thriller that blows open the smokescreen of superficial happiness in a successful young couple. This British noir is the work of Rebecca Whitney, an extremely promising literary newcomer.'
Grazia

'An unsettling portrayal of a toxic relationship, this pacy debut thriller is pitch dark.'
The Sunday Mirror
