Items related to The Poison Tree
I have given up so much and done so many terrible things already for the sake of my family that I can only keep going.
I do not know what is going to happen to us.
I am frightened, but I feel strong.
I have the strength of a woman who has everything to lose.
In the sweltering summer of 1997, strait-laced, straight-A student Karen
met Biba - a bohemian and impossibly glamorous aspiring actress.
She was quickly drawn into Biba's world, and for a while life was one long summer of love.
But every summer must end. By the end of theirs, two people were dead - and now Karen's past has come back to haunt her . . .

Review:
'A beautifully crafted, evocative psychological thriller . . . A dark, poetic, gripping, totally brilliant Brideshead Revisited for the 21st century' (The Times)
A dark, poetic, gripping, totally brilliant Brideshead Revisited for the 21st century (The Times)
A terrific suspense debut, reminiscent of another British woman's auspicious bow: Daphne Du Maurier's Rebecca. The shadows gather until the ending looms like a threatening figure. This one gets the writer's ultimate bit of praise: I wish I had written it. (Stephen King)

'An unusually good debut psychological thriller from an author who instinctively knows how to tell a suspense story (think early Barbara Vine) and whose plotting, characterisation, fluent writing and dark humour should ensure her a successful career.' (Daily Mail)
'(An) excellent debut psychological thriller, reminiscent of early Barbara Vine.' (Daily Mail Books of the Year)

'A wonderfully tense and foreboding thriller that is at the same time a clever, considered study of desire and a good old-fashioned page-turner.' (Psychologies)
'A shadowy, impeccably told tale of passion, friendship and murder.' (Marie Claire)
Brilliant! THE POISON TREE grabs you with the first sentence and doesn't let go--even after the last page; this is the sort of thriller that stays with you for a long, long time. Compelling and lyrically stylish, THE POISON TREE is a true winner! (Jeffery Deaver)
