Critics Review

  • Inspired by an eerie ancient legend, Sacrifice is a chilling, mesmerising debut thriller. S. J. Bolton is one to watch

    TESS GERRITSEN, bestselling author of Vanish and The Mephisto Club
  • Part forensic-thriller, part medical-thriller, Sacrifice combines both elements to great effect in
    this atmospheric and original debut

    SIMON BECKETT, author of The Chemistry of Death
  • This slick, fast moving thriller has a cracking opening scene and goes on to develop into a gripping story of intrigue and adventure . . . An interesting and skilful debut
