'With cunning mastery, O’Sullivan has crafted a dazzling, hypnotic thriller, rich with the mysteries' Megan Abbott

'Takes her place next to Tana French and Liz Moore as an undeniable master of the genre' Katy Hays

You should always watch the quiet ones…

Eve has a secret.

Since she was very young, she has found peace in the quiet fragility of the bones of animals. The stillness of their bodies is a relief from a busy, loud world that often threatens to overwhelm her. The only person who knows about this slightly odd obsession is Eve’s best friend, Caitlin; her one constant companion in the remote Cornish village where they have grown up.

Until on the first day of secondary school, in blasts new girl Amber: a vivacious, charismatic whirlwind who immediately infiltrates their sacred two. Eve can’t believe how lucky she is to belong to such a trio.

Then the little boy disappears.

Suddenly Eve has much bigger secrets to keep: and as every teenage girl knows, the only thing worse than keeping a terrible secret is not being part of it at all. But as Eve tries to keep her silence, she learns a devastating lesson: not all bodies are quiet.

Commentaires

‘Reading The Quiet Ones is like falling into a lush and frightening dream. With cunning mastery, O’Sullivan has crafted a dazzling, hypnotic thriller, rich with the mysteries—and dangers—of adolescent female friendships and the marks those friendships leave’ Megan Abbott
‘A richly evocative literary thriller about the enduing shadow of youthful impulses, The Quiet Ones builds tension with the expert precision of a metronome. But there’s nothing steady or quiet about the way O’Sullivan’s narrative voice announces itself—assuredly, she takes her place next to Tana French and Liz Moore as an undeniable master of the genre. A stunning debut from an exciting new talent’ Katy Hays, author of THE CLOISTERS
'Intoxicating and propulsive, THE QUIET ONES perfectly captures the darkness and delight of adolescence. A beautiful, brutal thriller: I loved it' Emilia Hart, author of WEYWARD
'The Quiet Ones is a tense and enthralling study of the world of teenage girls. Compassionate and horrifying in equal measure, this story holds all the love, pain, loyalty and secrecy of adolescence. I couldn't put it down' Niamh Ní Mhaoileoin, author of ORDINARY SAINTS
‘Set in the quiet menace of a rural town and its whispering school corridors, rumours billow and certainties fade… Unsettling and otherworldly, this novel draws you in to the wild joy of youth and sorority, and the inevitable collapse into distrust and danger. Beautifully and precisely written, these characters have lingered in my thoughts, almost against my will. As gleaming and unsettling and finely-wrought as a magpie’s skull’ Emma van Straaten
