Review:

It's one terrifying ordeal after another for the poor girl, right up to the end of this racy and enjoyable read. (Susanna Yager SUNDAY TELEGRAPH)

I know you don't read Australian thrillers. Well, bury that prejudice. This is probably the most consistently exciting thriller I've read this year - and by 'consistently' I mean start-to-finish, chapter-by-chapter, don't let-up thrills and excitement� I loved every minute of it. (Russell James CRIME TIME)

Plane crashes, car chases, crocodile-infested swamps: this book has it all. A ripping yarn with a conscience. It's great stuff! (GOOD BOOK GUIDE)

Quite the adventuress herself, Caroline Carver writes novels with non-stop action. Poor Georgia! The troubles Caroline invents for her you wouldn't wish on your worst enemy... the action scenes are great. Enjoy. *** 1/2 (George Easter DEADLY PLEASURES)

The local colour is strong: landscapes, habitations, sweaty heat , scorching winds, poisonous wildlife vivdly described. The crocodiles are terrifying... Anyone who likes reading breakneck, this is the book for you. (SHERLOCK)

Caroline Carver is a British writer who has already wowed us with her dazzling debut Blood Junction. Now she has followed it with the equally tense page-turner Dead Heat ... Fast-paced and slick, Dead Heat should firmly establish Caroline Carver as a thriller queen. If you want a read to consume you, this is the one to pick, but don't be surprised if you have no nails left by the final pages. ***** (PETERBOROUGH EVENING TELEGRAPH)

Carver's action runs at an excellent pace and she creates a dense atmospheric setting amongst the mangrove groves... Dead Heat makes for tense reading. (CITY LIFE (EVERYTHING MANCHESTER))

The best book I have read this year. Atmospheric, gripping, thrilling, compelling. Read it. (Lizzie Hayes MYSTERY WOMEN)

[A] gripping thriller (DORSET ECHO)
