Critics Review

  • An excellent detective novel. The opening scene is superb, and sets up the story beautifully. Gripping, multi-layered and fresh. Terrific

    Will Dean, author of Dark Pines
  • A brilliant premise, perfectly executed. A genuine page turner – it kept me guessing right until the end.

    Chris Hammer, bestselling author of Scrublands
  • A riveting new book, with such vivid characters

    Holly Watt, author of To the Lions
  • An absolute gem – I was hooked from the first page

    Jo Jakeman, author of Sticks and Stones
  • The first scene was brilliantly terrifying and the rest of the novel lived up to the strong opening – I had no idea who the killer was and it was superbly plotted. I loved the characters, too, especially the investigating team. I can see that this series is going to be a huge hit.

    Emily Koch, bestselling author of If I Die Before I Wake
  • A cold blooded chiller from first page to last. I loved She Lies In Wait, Watching From The Dark is even better
