Media Reviews

`Will lure you in - then cut to the kill' Sarah Perry, Guardian

`A richly atmospheric Gothic debut . . . Foxlowe may give up its secrets, in the end, but it never gives up its hold' Irish Times

`Meticulously conceived and darkly compelling. Underpinning the claustrophobic horror is a parable of unchecked sibling rivalry, a girl's desperate need for motherly love and the knotted consequences of childhood trauma' Observer

`Wonderfully tense' Emerald Street

`An accomplished debut . . . the ending is like a punch to the throat' The i
