Why read it?
1 author picked The Woman on the Bench as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Not only is this a great story but I think it’s beautifully written, even more exceptional because this is Stevens’ debut. Quite often, psychological thrillers are such page-turners, the reader doesn’t properly appreciate the words. I think that Elliot Stevens achieves both literary finesse and fast-paced action in this book.

From Miranda's list on twisty British psychological thrillers.
