“[A] taut series launch . . . Davidson’s ability to maintain the suspense bodes well for future installments.”

—Publishers Weekly

“The story line veers between alternate points of view . . . [while] perspectives on the same information provide different results. Writing the novel in this fashion amps up the suspense while also giving the narrative a complex and compelling flair. In addition, Davidson does an admirable job of making a complicated issue such as PTSD relatable. With an unpredictable ending and evidence that this is the start of a series, One Small Sacrifice is a book you should definitely check out.”

—Associated Press

“One Small Sacrifice is a complex and engaging psychological thriller with fully realized characters. The plot throws light on the darker areas of human nature, of the fallibility of memory, and leaves the reader guessing until the very end.”

—Authorlink

“A thriller, of the filled-with-dread-but-I-have-to-finish-it variety.”

—New York Journal of Books

“In a story told from multiple points of view, Davidson has crafted a compelling police procedural.”

—Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel

“This thriller, told from alternating points of view, will keep readers glued to their seats.”

—National Examiner

“Davidson’s stealthily plotted, rapidly deployed, multistranded mystery encompasses the most intimate of brutalities—including domestic abuse and postbattlefield PTSD, a solid handful of dodgy characters, and, in the most humane of touches, a dog named Sid.”

—Seattle Review of Books

“Davidson’s plotting is tight and complex, a slow build of twists and reversals that keeps characters and readers guessing until the final pages. The resolution is well supported and natural, while simultaneously surprising.”

—Quill & Quire

“One Small Sacrifice is an intense page-turner with twists to the very end.”

—Ellery Queen Mystery Magazine (5 stars)

“Davidson has crafted a tightly woven mystery. Each thread of the intricate plot draws you toward one surprising revelation after another.”

—Sandra Brown, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Tailspin

“Hilary Davidson’s One Small Sacrifice is both a heart-pounding procedural and a rich, mesmerizing tale of the weight of trauma and the elusive nature of memory. Twisty, absorbing, and deeply humane, it’s a thriller you won’t want to miss.”

—Megan Abbott, New York Times bestselling author of Give Me Your Hand

“Packed with secrets, lies, and surprises, One Small Sacrifice kept me guessing to the very end. A gritty kaleidoscope of a thriller.”

—Riley Sager, New York Times bestselling author of Final Girls

“A taut, compelling narrative with a nerve-tingling climax. Davidson turns clichés of the contemporary novel on their heads to create a wholly believable cast of characters. I hope we’ll see more of Detective Sheryn Sterling.”

—Sara Paretsky, New York Times bestselling author of Shell Game
