Critics Review
-
One of the most atmospheric novels you will ever encounter – you will feel the sea air in your lungs and the terror in your dreams. A crime novel of the very first order
David Baldacci, author of The 6:20 Man and The Edge
-
Trust me - Cummins is a keeper
Lee Child, author of the Jack Reacher series

A riveting read that will keep you up at night
Hello!

Rattle was one of the most chilling and gripping thrillers released last year. The Collector [. . .] is even more creepy and unsettling with tension slowly ramped up to build to a sensational finale that will make you gasp

Cummins has a gift for imbuing the everyday with menace. Despite the picture-postcard coastal setting, the seam of evil that runs through this story is totally convincing
Sunday Mirror
-
If you haven't read Fiona Cummins and you’re a Mo Hayder fan, make sure you read her first book and then her second. With the lights on
Emma Flint, author of Other Women
-
Totally, totally brilliant. Even more twisted than the first one. A whole other level of serial killer awesome
Lisa Hall, author of The Day She Disappeared
-
Spine-chilling and brilliant, beautifully written, creepily clever and utterly absorbing – just like Rattle
Karen Hamilton, author of The Contest
-
Chilling, superbly constructed, taut, evocative, her prose sings as she holds you tight in her grip and relentlessly ratchets up the tension. Compelling
Sarah Vaughan, author of Anatomy of a Scandal
-
The Collector is sensational. Fiona Cummins is a twisted genius writing with a silver pen. This is crime at its grisly and glorious best
Amanda Jennings, author of The Haven
-
Every bit as compelling as Rattle, with a dark, suspenseful plotline that had me holding my breath. The characters are so well drawn: the Collector himself is terrifying and the vulnerability of his victims really draws the reader in, making you yearn for justice and wonder how the nightmare will ever end . . . Brilliant, scary, creepy read
Debbie Howells, author of The Bones of You
-
An excellent read
Martina Cole, author of Loyalty, on Rattle
-
It’s a rare debut that has this much polish. Harrowing and horrifying, head and shoulders above most of the competition
Val McDermid, author of Past Lying and A Place of Execution, on Rattle
-
Made a paranoid hypochondriac for a few days!
Sophie Hannah on Rattle
-
Dark, stylish and scarily plausible
Joseph Knox on Rattle
-
Seriously creepy and very well written. One that’ll have you double-checking your doors are locked at night
Ali Land on Rattle
-
A creepy crime debut with shades of The Babadook about it . . . I think it will be huge
Sarah Hilary on Rattle
