Praise for The Secret:

‘A cracker of a read’ Belfast Telegraph

Praise for Debbie Howells:

‘A dazzling debut from a writer who looks to me to have an exceptional future. Howells’ novel has a rare freshness and depth that set her apart’ Daily Mail

‘Sharply written with characters that keep you guessing until the very last page, this story holds you tight and then drops you like a stone’ Liz Nugent

‘A terrific new talent. She paints with words and takes a scalpel to emotions’ Peter James

‘Haunting’ Good Housekeeping

‘I was completely immersed for the entire time and couldn’t wait to find out what happened next. A superb thriller’ B.P. Walter

‘I raced through this book, compelled to keep turning the pages to unravel the secrets. Kept me guessing right until the last moment. Trust NO ONE! A sinister, twisty tale you won’t want to put down’ Sam Carrington

The Vow is a well-crafted whodunnit, with enough red herrings to keep you guessing until the end. An intriguing plot with a host of characters that leave you wondering who you can trust!’ Wendy Clarke
