[A] delightfully malicious view of privileged students with overly active imaginations.--The New York Times Book Review
A thumping good showdown....Harris delivers.--Booklist
Harris magnificently manages every minute thread of the story, and even makes us laugh along the way . . . exquisitely sinister. . . Part black comedy, part thriller, and totally enjoyable.--Daily Mail
Her real metier is psychological suspense, and her accomplished new book, Different Class, is a prime example of her skills in this area . . . Crime novel or literary novel? Categories really don't matter; readers will find themselves comprehensively gripped.--Independent
A magnificently plotted and twisty journey to the heart of a 24-year-old crime...darkly humorous...constantly wrongfoots and misdirects...up to a satisfyingly eccentric conclusion.--Observer

Harris pulls off an impeccable thriller denouement...consistently entertaining.--Sunday Times
Deftly orchestrated and beautifully written tale of abuse, loyalty and regret.--Guardian
Mr. Chips meets Gordon Gekko in Harris' novel of academe....Harris expertly manipulates reader expectations as to the identities of St. Oswald's true villains, past and present. A gripping fictional exposé of a tempest no teapot can contain.--Kirkus Reviews
How well do we know the people around us? What façade do they show to the world that hides their deepest thoughts and fears?....Harris's sharp-eyed observations of human behavior are on the mark.--Library Journal, starred review
