Critics Review
-
‘What a cracking thriller. If you like dark, twisty ghostly tales with a riddle to solve, [I] highly recommended but *keep the light on*’Joanna Cannon
‘This marvellously creep tale… darkly menacing, it superbly depicts a young woman’s battle with terrifying anxieties.’ Daily Mail
‘An evocative, atmospheric setting, brilliantly drawn characters and a gripping mystery at the heart of it all: this fantastic novel has everything.’ Alex Lake
‘A haunting tale with dark shadows around every corner – I loved it. Intriguing and immersive, The Drowning Hour held me captive to the very last word.’ Marion Todd
‘Instantly captivating. Spooky from page one’ Monique Roffey
‘By turns compelling, unsettling and frightening, and always fiercely gripping’ Ben Timberlake
‘Spooky and atmospheric with some very clever twists – I raced through this.’ Catherine Cooper
Praise for S. K. Tremayne:
‘There is more than a hint of Daphne Du Maurier in this gripping thriller’ Daily Mail
‘The wild setting, drenched in folklore, provides atmosphere to this thriller’ Sunday Mirror
‘An unsettling thriller, guaranteed to tie your mind up in knots’ Heat
'Pulsing with tension’ Woman and Home
‘JUST BEFORE I DIED is a fantastic read that weaves an eerie spell around the reader. It does for Dartmoor what THE DRY does for the Outback’ Cass Green, bestselling author of IN A COTTAGE IN A WOOD
“Brooding, dark and atmospheric: I was drawn in from the first page, gripped by the multiple layers and sense of menace. JUST BEFORE I DIED has shades of Wuthering Heights; it is set in a different landscape but one that is equally powerfully invoked. I’m not sure I’ll ever look at Dartmoor the same way again…”Alex Lake, bestselling author of AFTER ANNA
