**HIGHLY COMMENDED FOR THE 2021 CWA GOLD DAGGER AWARD**

She’s a murderer.

Everyone knows she killed Stuart Rees – why else would his dead body be found in her shed?
So now Tabitha is in prison, awaiting trial.

Coming back to the remote coastal village where she grew up was a mistake. She didn’t fit in then, and she doesn’t fit in now.

That day is such a blur, she can’t remember clearly what happened. There is something she is missing, something important… She only knows one thing. She is not capable of murder.

And the only one she can trust to help her out of this situation is herself.
So she must fight. Against the odds.

For her life.

Beautifully written about prejudice, loneliness and fighting spirit, this new book by Nicci French is shocking, twisty and utterly compelling.

Praise for House of Correction:

‘A novel that blissfully plays with two genres: on the one hand an against-the-odds legal thriller à la John Grisham… and on the other a Miss Marple whodunnit set in a Devon village, where the amateur sleuth is herself the prime suspect and has to conduct her investigation from jail’ Sunday Times

‘Nicci French husband-and-wife writing team responsible for some of the UK’s best psychological thrillers have created a gem of a protagonist in Tabitha, who sets out to investigate what happened to herself, from prison… House of Correction allows the readers to puzzle out what happened alongside Tabitha, while cheering her effort’ Observer

‘First-class’ Independent

‘The husband-and-wife team of Nicci Gerrard and Sean French… have taken the ingredients of the classic village mystery and transformed them into something up to date and gripping’ Literary Review

‘Gritty and moving – the husband-and-wife team have scored another hit’ Best

‘A twisty and shocking read’ Bella

‘Engrossing… In this clever courtroom drama, Tabitha is on trial for the murder of a neighbour. The evidence against her is strong and due to the medication she takes, she has virtually no memory of what happened, but she’s sure she’s innocent and has to build a case to clear her name’ Good Housekeeping

‘I wanted everything to stop so I could read this book, there was something that grabbed me from the opening… This is a clever, well-crafted novel with twists and turns right until the end… Definitely a favourite read of mine for 2020’ Woman’s Way (Ireland)

‘Describing it as a suspenseful prison thriller, or riveting courtroom drama doesn’t do this meticulously written detective novel justice… As well as its finely drawn characters and clever storyline, this is a novel that provokes you into pondering the workings of the wider justice system, police methods and prison life’ Bookanista

‘Great writing, razor-sharp plotting, and powerful characterisation. I was 100 pages in before I even drew breath, and I defy anyone to see the ending coming’ Cara Hunter

‘Part ingenious locked-room mystery. Part you’ve-got-the-wrong-person nightmare drama. Part intricate memory game. Yet all seamlessly woven together. French’s best book yet’ A J Finn

‘Clever, compelling, original and twisty. This unputdownable David-and-Goliath story has the flawed, funny, totally unforgettable Tabitha at its heart and I read until the early hours, desperate to know her fate’ Erin Kelly

Disappointing

Lets be clear.I've read most of Nicci French's previous works and found them without exception to be excellent reads-terrific psychological thrillers .I was enormously looking forward to this new one....but what a disappointment.Frankly can believe its the same author(s). Had to abandon just over half way as bored stiff with a very monotonous plot.Sorry! (Glad to see a few others clearly share my view and be interested in what others have to say.)

Like others I am a huge fan of the Nicci French pairing & have read all their previous books (apart from the Freida Klein series which I just don’t fancy for some reason).
I was therefore really looking forward to this one & pre-ordered it then put it to the bottom of the pile to savour the anticipation of a fantastic read to come.
What a huge disappointment!
Like a previous reviewer says it is as though it was written by a completely different author.
The main character Tabitha is so unlikeable, couldn’t warm to her at all - in fact not to any of the characters.
The final reveal of the real killer is so random I defy anyone to see it coming but trust me it’s not worth reading the whole lot to find out whodunnit!
Maybe if this is the first Nicci French book you have read you could rate it but it is honestly not a patch on their earlier stuff.
Read those but skip this one.

This book has polarised opinions, which is one reason that prompted me to add my review.

Like many others, I have read all of NF’s books and enjoyed all of them, some more than others though. (Since others have raised the point, I’ll add my vote to the opinion that generally NF’s stand-alone books are better than those in their Frieda Klein series.)

This book is rather different from any of NF’s others, and I can see why some reviewers may have been disappointed in the lack of direct action, large sections of the book being set either in prison or in court. The main character is also quirky, and some found her unlikeable (I didn’t). Also, at over 500 pages, the book is quite long, and I would not disagree with anyone who said that for the first part it was rather a slow burner – some may have been put off by that I suppose. But I found it engaging and compelling throughout, and particularly towards the end a real page-turner (I stayed up late one night to finish it).

I would certainly agree that this is one of their best yet.

Disappointing

This was a tedious, repetitive, boring book and the court scenes were laughable. The " heroine" was just a recycled Freda Klein, unlikeable, troubled, prickly. It's a shame when successful authors churn out poor quality like this, of course they know their name will guarantee sales regardless.

Did She? Or Didn't She?

Although books from the duo writing as Nicci French have been recommended to me by several people, I must admit that I’ve never felt really compelled to pick up any of their books; however, seeing this particular novel whilst browsing on Amazon, I thought I would give it a try, and although there were parts to this book that I didn’t find entirely convincing, I’m glad I did. Tabitha, a single woman in her thirties suffering from bouts of depression and periods of forgetfulness, finds herself on remand for a murder she is sure she didn’t commit. Living in a rundown house in the village she grew up in and has recently returned to, Tabitha has been struggling to cope with feelings of deep depression, and when the police discover that the ex-teacher she is accused of murdering abused her when she was a naive fifteen-year-old and she has since found it difficult to form close relationships, her motive for murdering the man seems to the police to be a a cast iron one - especially as the body was found in Tabitha's shed. Awaiting trial in prison, Tabitha searches her memory for what happened that day, and when she thinks her solicitor doesn’t believe in her innocence and decides to defend the case herself, she has to search very deeply indeed. But did Tabitha, who has anger issues as well as depression, kill her ex-teacher? And if she didn’t, who did?

When I started reading this novel I wasn’t sure I was going to enjoy it - the amount of anger exhibited by Tabitha, her excessive bad language and her aggressive manner made her a rather unsympathetic character - despite my feeling sorry for her for what had happened to her in the past; also I was surprised by the treatment meted out to Tabitha in prison - if she was on remand and innocent until proven guilty, would she have been treated in exactly the same way as those prisoners who had been found guilty? However, that said, I soon became caught up in Tabitha’s story and as it’s one of those plots where only a very few people could have actually committed the murder, it was interesting to try and work out who, if it wasn’t Tabitha, had carried out the deed. And as I like reading courtroom dramas and the second part of the novel was set during Tabitha’s trial where she tries to defend herself to the best of her ability, I very much enjoyed this part of the story. So, although there were areas that I found less than convincing than others (I can’t explain further for fear of revealing too much of the plot, but would someone who couldn't even remember fully what they did on the day of the murder actually dismiss her solicitor and, despite having no legal training whatsoever, decide to defend herself? ), I nevertheless found this an interesting and entertaining read and one that I found quite difficult to put down. I am now interested in looking at the Frieda Klein books written by this duo and of which there are eight novels in all, beginning with 'Blue Monday'.

4 Stars.
