"Beautifully written modern gothic. I took my time with this, savouring it - the tone of Sarah Hilary’s writing is unique to her: exploring society and human nature in a sensitive, engrossing way. Ingenious, original and brilliant." - Will Dean
"A beguiling thriller of considerable ambition and ingenuity, Fragile marks Sarah Hilary as a twenty-first century du Maurier, a writer who plunges the depths of human nature, finding the darkest, most deviant corners, but also the fleeting hopes and brittle aspirations. This is a truly outstanding work of modern gothic." - Eva Dolan
"So Gothically creepy and addictive, brilliant characters and set up, but most of all just beautifully written." - Sabine Durrant
"A swirling, corrosive tale of death and deceit, as unsettling as it is beguiling." - Luke Jennings
"Perfectly plotted, beautifully written modern gothic. Timeless, tense and tender, Fragile will worm its way deep into your heart, just as the characters insinuate themselves into each others’ lives. I absolutely loved it." - Erin Kelly
"Fragile is absolutely STUNNING, the dreamy atmosphere coupled with Nell's carnal love for Joe put me in mind of Barbara Vine...[Sarah Hilary is] an astonishingly gifted writer, with an almost scalpel-like ability to dissect human motivation and convey it deliciously devoid of sentimentality. I was GRIPPED by Fragile, it took me into a whole other world and I was sorry to leave it." - Marian Keyes
"Sarah Hilary has always known how to chill her readers – Fragile dials the chill factor up to eleven." - Val McDermid
"Extraordinary . . . an immersive psychological thriller that plunges us into an underworld of emotional and physical exploitation. There are shades of Highsmith . . . Brilliant stuff." - Andrew Taylor
