56 Days? I read it in 24 HOURS because it was so compulsive,
intriguing and fantastically entertaining. I could not let it
go.
*Liz Nugent*
I was surgically attached to this twisting lockdown thriller.
Clever, tender and all too convincing, it's the kind of book you
read in one breathless sitting to get to the truth, and then again,
slowly, to see how the author did it.
*Erin Kelly*
Dark and dazzling, funny, sinister, and oh-so clever. I read 56
Days in a breath held right up until the final, mesmeric pages.

Catherine Ryan Howard has become my go-to writer for utterly
