Critic reviews

" Scared to Death is one of those book that creeps up on you, beautifully observed and written, skillfully plotted and developed and with characters as complex and flawed as your most interesting friends. I loved it." (Simon Toyne)
"Tremendously accomplished - a slow burn builds into an edge-of-the-seat thriller. Complex, humane and completely convincing." (Mel McGrath, author of Give Me the Child)
