title: Disclaimer: A Novel
author: Rene Knight
description: Let me now acknowledge having done what thriller writers love doing: burying the lead. Its <em>Disclaimer</em> that turns out to be the <em>Gone Girl</em> of the season. (Janet Maslin, <em>New York Times</em>)<br /><br /><em>Disclaimer</em> is something special. . . an outstandingly clever and twisty tale thats been perfectly engineered to make heads spin. (Janet Maslin, <em>New York Times</em>)<br /><br />Sensationally good psychological suspenseexactly what a great thriller should be. (Lee Child)<br /><br />Rene Knights debut book is being compared with <em>Gone Girl</em>. . . . A chilling premise. (<em>Wall Street Journal</em>)<br /><br />With pitch-perfect pacing and alternating narrators that leap off the page, <em>Disclaimer</em> is both a page-turning mystery and an artful exploration of the explosive intersection between marriage and motherhood, revenge and regret. A wonderfully compelling book. (Kimberly McCreight, <em>New York Times</em> bestselling author of <em>Reconstructing Amelia</em>)<br /><br />The marvel of<em>Disclaimer</em> is that it just about lives up to its unusually gripping premise[and] forms a trinity alongside <em>Gone Girl</em> and <em>The Girl on the Train</em> as the best of domestic noir. (<em>New York Daily News</em>)<br /><br /><em>Disclaimer</em> stealthily steals your attention and by the end holds you prisonera searing story that resonates long after the final page. The best thriller Ive read this year. (Rosamund Lupton, <em>New York Times</em> bestselling author of <em>Sister and Afterwards</em>)<br /><br />Knights pacenuilds momentum and ends with a series of breakneck plot twists and surprises. A seriously unnerving roller coaster. Its also a surprisingly sophisticated examination of marriage, motherhood and memory, as well asnaturallyguilt, grief and revenge. (<em>Richmond Times-Dispatch</em>)<br /><br />A mysterious book within a book, which contains potentially damning information about the protagonist, jump starts this remarkable debut by British scriptwriter Knight....This unsettling psychological thriller about guilt and grief briskly moves to a shocking finale enhanced by its strong characters. (<em>Publishers Weekly</em> (starred review))<br /><br />The first requirement of a fabulous summer read is that it should be too enthralling to put down. <em>Disclaimer</em> meets that requirement mightily. A gripping, well-written story for those who arent afraid of the darker side of summer reading. (<em>Charleston Gazette</em>)
