The writing is elegant, atmospheric and sophisticated. (Sophie Hannah)
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)

A tense, twisting thriller . . . Atmospheric and gripping, it will keep you guessing to the end (Cosmopolitan)
The dark world of psychological thrillers has a bright new voice . . . [a] twisted, brooding, creepy debut. (Daily Mirror)

THE POISON TREE has a nicely claustrophobic cape wrapped round it . . . the novel's a clever tease, the pay-off more than worth it (Time Out)
