Unputdownable from the very first page, The Trivia Night was spookily familiar, funny, and darkly captivating. I loved it * Sally Hepworth *
Gossip, scandal and intrigue - this twisty tale is deliciously naughty and addictive. A great new voice in fiction. * Veronica Henry *
A delicious read that takes a social event many of us have experienced - the innocuous school trivia night - and infuses it with bad decisions, illicit desire and danger. Perceptive, suspenseful and all too realistic, you will see yourself in these characters and be at once shocked and understanding of their actions. * B.M. Carroll *
Sex, lies and intrigue abound in this gripping and often hilarious story of suburban marriages in crisis, self discovery and school gates culture.

Sexy, funny, excruciating - a smart thriller about couples and school gate neurosis. I couldn't put this down * Harriet Walker *
An addictive read about marriage, friendships, parent politics and the consequences of one unexpectedly wild night at a school fundraiser. I loved the voices of the three different women who tell the story and the secrets, lies and scandals that unfold irresistibly throughout * Helen Cooper *
Light and curly rather than dark and twisty, this is a clever, witty, wonderfully observed satire on the bitchiness, rivalries and friendships that flourish when our children go to school - not in the playground, but at the school gate. I recognised so many of the characters that I could have sworn Ali Lowe had been eavesdropping on my friends and reporting the scandals at my local primary school. * Michael Robotham *
A salacious yet recognisable dilemma that examines the consequences of bringing your secret desires to life . . . Exploring what actually happens when you attempt to make your fantasies a reality, this was a thoroughly entertaining, engaging read that I finished in one weekend. I loved it! * Jacqueline Bublitz *
The Running Club has it all: old and new secrets, glamour and greed, and extreme competitiveness which is darkly funny . . . until it turns criminal. I raced to the last page * B. M. Carroll *
A sharp, clever and compelling read about family, friends and the secrets and lies that bind them together . . . I couldn't stop turning the pages and read it in just two days! Ali's characterisation is always pitch-perfect leaving me both surprised and horrified by the dark side lurking beneath the glamourous and wealthy facades of her protagonists. The Running Club is no exception - nearly everyone in Esperance is hiding something, so I'd advise keeping your running spikes at home . . . * Sarah Pearse *
The Running Club was all about the fascinating characters for me. Their overlapping pasts; their places in the social hierarchy; their resentments, jealousies, secrets and betrayals. A running club riddled with rivalries, leading to a murder mystery that had me gripped til the end * Helen Cooper *
Appropriately fast-paced, you don't have to be a runner to recognise Lowe's brilliantly drawn characters. This gripping thriller, where nobody is quite who they seem and everyone is a suspect, held me tight within its grip and I raced to the end * Polly Phillips *
I loved the elite lives, the big money and bigger secrets. Fast-paced and brilliantly taut * L.V. Matthews *
More frenemies than friends, there are twin sisters demonstrating a bizarre mix of sibling rivalry and union, and best pals who really put the 'end' in friendship . . . If you're a fan of Liane Moriarty, make sure this new author is on your radar * Belfast Telegraph *
Deliciously dark and completely enthralling, The Running Club is the perfect follow up to Ali's brilliant debut. Curl up on the couch and sink your teeth into this addictive and immensely satisfying read * Nicola Moriarty *
Utterly gripping * Heat *
