Trade ReviewHooked me from page one! [A] stunning debut thriller... With clever twists and all-too-human characters, this book will keep you racing toward the end. * Lisa Gardner, author of the Detective D.D. Warren series, on The Dark Lake *
A stunning debut that gripped me from page one and never eased up. Dark, dark, dark - but infused with insight, pathos, a great sense of place, and razor-sharp writing. It's going to be big and Sarah Bailey needs to clear a shelf for awards. * C.J. Box, author of the Joe Pickett series, on The Dark Lake *
A crime thriller that seizes you from the first page and slowly draws you into a web of deception and long buried secrets.
Beautifully written, compulsively readable, and highly recommended. * Douglas Preston, author of the Agent Perdergast series, on The Dark Lake *
Highly recommended * LoveReading *
