APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Gripping courtroom drama meets The Girl on the Train in this heart-stopping psychological thriller, recently adapted into a BBC series. We were instantly hooked by the unflinching voice of scientist Yvonne Carmichael, who charts her life’s sudden change of course, from a passionate extramarital tryst to a murder trial. Apple Tree Yard places us at the centre of events as they escalate, alternating between the central court scene and late-night letters addressed to Yvonne’s lover. The book’s fragments form a tantalising story—and a compelling meditation on narrative reliability and middle-aged desire.

Louise Doughty takes you on quite a ride. A great story, intriguing and interesting and yet riveting. What a great twist at the end. What a believable tale...based closely on a true story. This will not disappoint. Looking forward to reading another of Doughty's novels. Well done Louise.
Apple Tree Yard
This is a beautifully written novel that is impossible to put down. It raises so many questions of what is wrong and right and explores the differences between men and women in relationships. Just when you think you have the story sorted out, the writer surprises you again. Such a wonderful book, I can't stop thinking about it.
Brilliant!
