"This book stands apart for its expert pacing and plotting, and for its exploration of the complexity of financial disparities in relationships, friendships between generations, and the London housing crisis . . . Sure to please readers looking for thrillers in the vein of Lisa Jewell and Aimee Molloy; a single-sitting page-turner with character and thematic depth." --Library Journal (starred review)

"This ingenious psychological thriller from British author Candlish (Those People) has more bends and turns than the Thames River . . . Dalliances form, alliances abound, and deception is rampant. Candlish's clever commuter horror offers enough stupefying chills to reward old fans and invite new ones." --Publishers Weekly (starred review)

"Candlish never lets the tension slacken as deep discussions of income disparity, aging, love and loss keep readers' loyalties shifting between characters. There's the potential for at least one character, perhaps more, to appear in another novel. It would be thrilling to see them again. The villains in The Other Passenger are never held at arm's length. We care, even as their ordinary lives turn monstrous." --BookPage (starred review)

"Candlish's story is a stiletto take on desire and ambition and the power of possession, and one of the most entertaining and seductive thrillers coming this summer." --Minneapolis Sar Tribune

"Candlish brings a Hitchcockian sense of the uncanny to her latest thriller, which features two friendly neighbors, co-commuters on the local ferry. When one of them goes missing, the other finds himself under accusation. Their friendship is real, but our protagonist is forced to question everything he thought he knew about her relationships and the community around him." --Crimereads

"Psychological suspense at its most elegant and sinister." --A.J. Finn

"Just brilliant; gripping from the first page with an incredible first-person narrative and a sense of place that pulls you through the pages fast enough to make your head spin. Louise Candlish just gets better and better. I love her." --Lisa Jewell

"I'm a HUGE fan of Louise Candlish's writing, but she really knocks it out of the park with this one, with its Hitchcockian atmosphere of mounting dread and almost unbearable suspense, building to its astonishing conclusion. A must-read." --Lucy Foley

"Louise Candlish is the queen of the sucker-punch twist." --Ruth Ware

"A gripping read with a brilliant first-person narrative. I couldn't turn the pages fast enough. It's so good!" --B.A. Paris
