PRAISE FOR B P WALTER:
Devilishly well-plotted, crisply written and a hell of a lot of fun. What a smashing debut! A.J. Finn
Beguiling, surprising and sometimes shocking. Cleverly crafted with characters who stay with you. A highly-polished debut Jane Corry
Day one of my holiday lost to B P Walter and his intriguing thriller A Version of the Truth. If you like Peter Swanson, this will be right up your dark, twisted alley John Marrs
A Version of the Truth is engaging and sinister in places. Walter has created wonderfully authentic characters, and the writing is superb. Highly recommended Elisabeth Carpenter
Walter's debut is an assured piece of world-building, with characters both flawed and real, and a crescendo that sweeps you up then crashes you down. Unpredictable, clever and subtly twisted. Loved it Helen Fields
A dark and sometimes disturbing debut; a compelling story with credible characters. Walter emerges as a powerful new voice in the world of thriller writing Diane Jeffrey
Barnaby Walter works as a social media co-ordinator for Waterstones, based at their HQ in Piccadilly. A Version of the Truth is his debut novel.
