Safe as Houses by Simone Van Der Vlugt
Her instinct is to run for home. It's the last thing she should do.
A fast-paced example of suburban noir, in which cosy domesticity is transformed by a potentially brutal home invasion.. a lean, stripped-down thriller that hits the ground running and sprints full-tilt to its breathless climax * * Irish Times * *
Van der Vlugt propels her double-pronged story along with a spare conciseness that has you flipping pages manically * * Metro * *
The author builds a great atmosphere of tension as the truth slowly, horrifyingly, comes into focus * * Sunday Telegraph on SHADOW SISTER * *
Hard to put down. Thrilling * * Cosmopolitan on THE REUNION * *
A gripping psychological thriller which breathes new life into that old cliché 'unputdownable' * * Waterstone’s Books Quarterly on THE REUNION * *
Compulsively readable...the characters are fleshed out admirably well in a short space, which makes all the difference with this kind of psychological thriller - you want to find out what happens to them * * Killing Time Crime * *
