Critic reviews

A highly original and assured psychological thriller, it keeps readers guessing until delivering a satisfying punch. Simply stunning.
Stunning: so clever, so gripping, so timely. This deserves to be huge (LUCY FOLEY)
From the very first page, this thriller is unique, punchy and super-smart. Her Many Faces is itself so multifaceted, so rich - a courtroom drama, a character study, a social commentary - but it wears each guise with real heart and style. (ABIGAIL DEAN)
Beautifully written, experimental, and fast-paced. I’m addicted. (GIlLIAN McALLISTER)
A brilliantly structured and beautifully written story about a troubled young woman who may or may not have murdered a room full of some of the most powerful men in the country at an infamous London members’ club
Clever, compulsive and razor-sharp ... An unusual genre redefining thriller that dissects identity, bias and media obsession in a gripping, multi-voiced mystery
Her Many Faces had me gripped from the start and I raced through it in two sittings. Clever, twisty and with such a unique narrative method that I was second guessing Katie Cole's guilt or innocence throughout, this novel firmly stakes Nicci Cloke's claim as the breakout suspense writer of the year, and she can count me as her number one fan! (SARAH PINBOROUGH)
This page-turning, multiple viewpoint thriller is a densely plotted novel full of amazing twists (Irvine Welsh)
An ingenious, indignant, beautifully wrought psychological thriller. Nicci Cloke had me fooled repeatedly and I absolutely loved it. (ERIN KELLY)
A smart thriller with slick, snappy chapters that had me reading ‘just one more’ until the early hours… A must-read
All stars
Most relevant
I like novels where the crime takes place first, and the author unravels the story afterwards. In this book, each character explains their connection to Katherine Cole, a clearly troubled young woman. Is she a victim of her environment? As the 2020s unfold, the media appears to be obsessed with debunking 'fake' news, while many of us continue to doom-scroll online. How does this impact today's youth?

Cloke amplifies these present-day realities in a perfectly timed work of fiction.
Few authors can bring a new perspective to crime fiction, but she does so brilliantly.

A well-deserved 4/5.

Crime fiction from a different angle.

The blurb of this sounded amazing but unfortunately for me it just didn't live up to the expectations I had for it. It was an interesting story and I enjoyed learning about the fmc through the perspectives of the male characters. I really liked how the audiobook used different narrators for each character too so there was a clear difference between them but I just felt that something was missing.

Didn't live up to the hype.

Loved this. A really good plot told from several different viewpoints about the protagonist. Can’t find any other titles by the author, so hoping they will write another.

Great plotting and narration

What an excellent story to listen to whilst on a long journey or long walk.. The plot has twists one wouldn't expect and the dive into the character's personal stories adds nuance and complexity to the already engaging storyline. The narrators do a superb job in their differing roles, particularly that of Tarun, who makes the most of using different inflections and accents to portray the many different characters encountered. I highly recommend this audio book and will likely listen again to discover hidden gems I may have missed the first time. I will be sharing this as one to hear this year.

Gripping story, unique method of capture and engaging narrators

Both characters and story lacked depth. Disappointing ‘left field’ ending. A bit of dishonest storytelling that relies on leaving out important details. Improbable perpetrator. Felt like a waste of some hours of my life that I will never get back.

Disappointing ending
