Reputation

** Praise for Reputation**

'Reputation blew me away. It's a masterpiece – breathtakingly brilliant, powerful, gripping and with an incredibly important message about the treatment of women in the public eye. I binge read it as I couldn't bear to put it down. It's simply phenomenal – a work of sheer genius. I'm sure it will be a runaway hit and deservedly so' Sarah Harris

‘A genuine page-turner with a flawed protagonist who acts like a real human being. This book is going to provoke a lot of important conversations. I honestly couldn't put it down’ Emma Curtis

‘Wow! Vaughan’s best book yet, which is saying something. Reputation pulls off being both a necessary must-read novel about women in public life - the trolls, the threats, the misogyny - and an absolute masterclass in storytelling with some of the best court scenes I’ve ever read. Vaughan slips under the skin of her characters so deftly, and with such skill and compassion, I lived every page. Riveting. Shocking. Unbelievably good. I loved it’ Eve Chase

‘Intelligent, morally complex, with a burning sense of menace, REPUTATION is a chilling portrait of how a life can unfold through a series of incremental actions - one’s own, and other people’s. With a remarkable understanding of what it is to be a woman and a girl, the novel forces readers to consider the choices we make under pressure, and their potentially obliterative consequences. We are left with a single, haunting question: and what might we have done?’ Charlotte Philby

‘A tour de force. So sharp and intelligent … and emotional too. And VERY topical. It is going to resonate with a lot of women’ Louise Beech

‘Reputation is a brilliant, compelling and heartbreakingly relevant powerhouse of a book.’ Cressida McLoughlin

‘My only complaint is a severe lack of sleep because once the court case had started there was no way I could tear myself away from it. I was totally gripped. I loved the intricacy of it, the seesaw of emotions. So clever and so visual. I could picture it perfectly. Another one for Netflix’ Cari Rosen

‘Power-packed. Pacy. Punchy. Potent...Possibly the best book I’ve read this year’ Jane Corry

'Sarah Vaughan has once again tapped into the zeitgeist, writing another current and relatable tale. It's a triumph - pacy and tense. I couldn't put it down’ Fionnuala Kearney

‘Timely, important, thought-provoking and as always with Sarah Vaughan, impeccably executed, REPUTATION deserves to be huge. Sarah Vaughan is one of the best suspense writers in the market today and she excels at this portrait of a woman under intense pressure. I loved it’ Phoebe Morgan 

‘This deep dive into the world of the political woman and the dangers behind the facade is timely and compelling’ Jane Shemilt

‘I absolutely adored the book...It's a clever, timely book, which shows how disastrous consequences can spiral from a network of female fear and oppression’ Araminta Hall

‘Wow! Loved Reputation. Brilliantly written and plotted, and as full of emotional depth as I expected having loved her other books’ Laura Marshall

‘Wow, what a book. Compelling, clever and chillingly current. It's tense, superbly researched and brilliantly written. Got to be on Netflix’ Laura Kemp

‘Timely, necessary, and gripping, do not miss out on REPUTATION. With her trademark acuity and empathy, Sarah Vaughan skilfully dissects the pressures facing women in both public life and private while delivering an absolute nail-biter of a novel. It’s a must-read for 2022’ Gilly Macmillan

‘Perceptive, elegant, thrilling and addictive. Reputation is further proof that Sarah Vaughan handles such important, timely issues with endless flair and compassion. I’m a huge fan’ Chris Whitaker
