Thank you net galley and the publisher for the opportunity to read this book for an honest review

This book is a suspenseful psychological page turner. It keeps one guessing right to the end. Good story line, believable and some very unlikeable characters . 5 stars

Plot twist was so unpredictable. I feel like some things never got wrapped up and it left me a little confused but overall a really good story. Quick read with short chapters!

A 24 hour read! This book had me totally immersed, I had to keep reading as it felt like a train hurtling towards a broken bridge, it was dark, scary and depressing in equal measure and kept me awake at night.
I had worked out the twist several chapters in but was anxious to see how it would play out, especially as it felt that this tragic incident could happen to anyone. I couldn't stop thinking about the ending, going over and over the whole book in my head. for days afterwards.
A fantastically written thriller that will mess with your mind.

This book started off slow, but when it picked up, it picked up! It was an amazing read, the plot twists were great. Overall recommended.

Wow! What. A. Pageturner!! I absolutely loved this debut into the thriller genre by the author. I genuinely couldn’t put this down and if you’re after a gripping thriller then this is a must read. Just don’t expect to sleep or quite frankly do anything until you’ve finished it!

Laura Winters doesn't know why she has lost her memory, or why she was found alone, soaked in someone else's blood. The only thing she is certain of is that she will only talk to Emma Best, a psychologist well known for tackling cases of domestic abuse. When Emma arrives at the mental health facility where Laura is being held, nothing seems quite right and when they start their therapy sessions, Laura’s life seems eerily familiar and her comments almost personal. What is going on and can Emma help the police crack the case before they run out of the allocated time?

Absolutely brilliant!! I have yet to read anything by the author, which I didn’t love.

Absolutely loved this book, a gripping thriller that kept me guessing until the very end. I would definitely read more books from this author

Thanks to NetGalley & Headline publishing for the chance to read this book!

VERY Fast paced read, somehow I knew what was happening from the very beginning even though I don't remember there being any hints at the plot twist early on (It's an ADHD thing) BUT that DID NOT take away from the excitement of the book AT ALL, getting to the how, when, why of things was very important, it's like an "I NEED TO KNOW NOW" type of thing for me!

Great book and crazy insightful into how the mind works/blocks things out to protect us! Def giving us all something to think about, I hope we see more of this genre from this author!

This book was absolutely brilliant. I found it hard to put down. I part guess bits but not all. I hope the author writes some more books in this genre.

The Woman in Ward 9 by Naomi Williams was so good!
The writing was great, and the author did a good job bringing the reader into the story.
The mystery element of the story was engaging.
She painted very vivid picture. And the characters were captivating and drew me in.

This is absolutely brilliant!! What a gripping story full of twists and turns. I devoured it in one sitting . Fantastic and thoroughly enjoyable

Thank you Net Gallery for the book. It was very enjoyable, very entertaining, lots of twists and turns. I loved the characters. The only bad thing I have to say about this book is that it kept me reading way past midnight, I couldn't put it down! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Laura is a woman who is found covered in blood after blacking out. It's not her blood and she can't remember anything. She is admitted to a high security psych unit and will only be seen by one psychologist that she has requested...Emma.
As Emma unravels the story, she herself appears to be unravelling.

This is a slow burn of a read, but, gosh! It kept my interest as the layers of Laura's story starts to intertwine with Emma's. It's an interesting, compulsive read with a cracking summary.

I thoroughly enjoyed it and wish the author every success. Thanks to NetGalley and the publishers Headline for the opportunity to preview.

The Woman in Ward 9 by Naomi Williams opens with the horror of Laura, being found in the kitchen of her own home covered in blood that is subsequently proved not to be hers. As she has no memory of what happened, she is admitted to Heaton Place, a psychiatric unit. The unit brings in a psychologist, Emma, as Laura will only communicate with her. Emma’s brief is to try and unlock Laura’s memories and gain her trust in the limited timeline of five days. The only problem for Emma is that as Laura’s story is revealed, various aspects of her personal life have disturbing similarities to Emma’s. This leaves Emma not only questioning her abilities as a therapist but also questioning whether Laura is a murderer or in reality, a victim.
The Woman in Ward 9 is a brave attempt at a very different psychological thriller. I did find the pace a little slow in the beginning, but as there is an excellent build-up of tension and menace throughout. The twist at the end is totally unpredictable and took my breath away. I will definitely read more from this author.
Sincere thanks to NetGalley, Naomi Williams and especially Headline Books for the much-appreciated ARC in exchange for an open and honest review.

Wow! What a ride this book took me on! What a grip it had on me! Can we get a movie made out of this one???Imagine waking up in a psychiatric ward, with no memory of how or why you are there. Did you commit the crime they are accusing you of? Who can you trust? This book has it all. Mystery, action, suspense, emotional rollercoasters, and is just everything you would want in a psychological thriller. I felt this book was written at a great speed and really captures the readers attention from the beginning. The author did a fantastic job of wrapping up any questions at the ending as well. This is a MUST read.

Thank you NetGalley, Naomi Williams, and Publisher for the eArc. I will be adding this one to my collection.

The Woman in Ward 9 by Naomi Williams offers a gripping, if at times unsettling, look into the lives within a psychiatric ward. The author masterfully crafts a tense atmosphere, where the lines between sanity and delusion blur for both the patients and the reader. The character development, particularly of the 'woman,' is compelling, drawing you deeper into her complex world. Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for this early release.

Laura, a psychologist herself, is in a psych ward after being found in her own kitchen, covered in someone else’s blood, with absolutely no memory of what happened. She has requested psychologist, Emma, to be the one that helps her uncover the events leading up to this. They have just 6 days before the law takes over. Emma is a bit confused as to why Laura has chosen her specifically, and then she realizes how deep some of the similarities between both their lives are.
From the start, I loved this author’s writing style. This book was wild! I was kept on my toes he entire time. Eerie little things kept happening that kept me guessing. The suspense was real and this story had my jaw dropping! I just wish there was a bit more to the ending and perhaps a better resolution. I am left wanting to re-read this book knowing what I know now.
Thank you to NetGalley and Headline for this ARC in exchange for my honest review.

A dark and deceitful story and j felt that I couldn't breathe throughout. I loved the main character and was desperate to find out the truth. Lots twists and turns, a brilliant psychological thriller

Laura Winters was found alone, soaked in somebody else’s blood. She doesn’t remember what happened or why she has lost her memory. The only thing she is certain of is that the only psychologist she can talk to is Emma Best. Emma has just six days to unlock Laura’s memories to find out the truth.

This thriller was a mindfuck and I love that! It had a cleverly crafted plot which I loved. My only criticism is that I found the pace a little slow at the very start, but the intrigue of the situation kept me invested. By the time I got to the last 55% of the book, I was racing through it and could barely put it down! I really really enjoyed this book and would highly recommend it!

Thank you to NetGalley and Headline books for providing me with an ARC of this book to review! All opinions are my own.

Well, this was a roller-coaster!

It is well done, keeps you guessing throughout the book. It makes you think whether you are going crazy too or not MB Eventually I kind of knew where this was going but I wasn't prepared for the final twist.

It is fast-paced, perfect for summer. I read this while on holiday.

Thank you NetGalley for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review

I really enjoyed this book it was your typical fast paced thriller with twists and then another twist highly recommend for fans of Frieda McFadden etc
