Powerful, provocative, beautiful and unforgettable. All Us Sinners is a chilling, moving, majestic debut and Katy Massey is a wonderful storyteller * Chris Whitaker * A masterful debut crime novel... Clever and compelling * Woman & Home * I loved this. It takes a fresh and moving look at a series of crimes we all think we know well. The writing is terrific, conveying the fear and the grief of the women who lived through this with tender respect. * Emma Flint * A gripping and important story imbued with suspense, giving voice to the forgotten women in the gruesome shadows of the Yorkshire Ripper * Diana Evans * Enthrallingly exciting * Heat * A book about real women, vivid, complex and tender from a great new voice. You'll love it * Kit de Waal *
