OH MY!

'Beautifully written, Deadman’s Pool is a deeply chilling and complex thriller by an author who knows how to hold the reader in the palm of her hand. I was so engrossed in the story, and blown away by the conclusion'

100% THIS!

'Deadman’s Pool starts off with an absolute chiller of a prologue and with a mysterious narrator whose harrowing experiences sets the tone for the whole of the story and which had me quickly turning to the first chapter already eager to discover more.'

THIS!

'I absolutely loved the way this story is set against the wind and wuthering of storm season, which heightens the tension, and feelings of isolation and desperation. Unpredictable weather, and fragmented communities separated by the capricious sea stand as characters...'
