Nothing to Fear

Nothing to Fear

by Matthew D ' Ancona (Author)

Synopsis

For Ginny, the new house represents a new start: a room of her own where she can research her book on the psychology of fairytales and recover from a bitter divorce. The last thing shes looking for is romance. But her young neighbour breaks down her defences. Sean cooks her delicious meals and rescues her from a drunken attack by her ex-husband. His only eccentricity is the locked room in his house that he forbids her to enter. It can't contain anything sinister, can it? Ginny can't resist finding out. But when she opens the door, she is propelled into a horror story, rather than a fairytale.

Media Reviews
'Enjoyably theatrical ... a sleek thriller ... tightly plotted' -- New Statesman 20081124 'Nothing to Fear's deceptively simple premise ... soon transforms itself into a far from predictable thriller with an intelligent plot and a well-drawn cast of believable characters ... A near-perfect psychological horror story.' -- Mark Campbell, Crime Time 20081124 'A chilling scenario with a nightmare's twist and turns' -- Daily Mail 20081124 'As a page-turning thriller with a subtext of female solidarity it succeeds very well indeed.' -- Tina Jackson, Metro 20081124 'Traditional dangers set firmly in the modern world, skilfully written' -- Literary Review 20081124 'It contains plenty of narrative treats, with a good dollop of suspense, a sprinkling of surprises and some enjoyable Da Vinci Code -esque musings on the origins of fairy tales thrown in.' -- Time Out 20081124 'Brilliant - completely gripping, elegantly written, with some cracking twists.' -- Sophie Hannah 20081124
