Praise for The Birthday Girl A brilliant Christie-esque page-turner with an amazing sense of location Catherine Cooper, Sunday Times bestselling author of The Chalet Atmospheric, tense, with lots of twists and turns, I couldnt put this down. With a nod to Agatha Christie, the sharp narrative builds to a nail-biting climax. Simon McCleave, author of The Dark Tide A pitch-perfect start to a new thriller series Michael Wood, author of Silent Victim There is more than a whiff of Agatha Christie here, which made The Birthday Girl so satisfyingly compelling that I read into the small hours to finish it Alis Hawkins, author of A Bitter Remedy Suspense and intrigue abound in this gripping, claustrophobic murder mystery set on a sinister Welsh island Roz Watkins, author of The Devils Dice 'Takes the classic Christie-esque trope of a remote location and a closed circle of suspects and reinvents it for the 21st Century, weaving a tale of murder, madness, and revenge. I absolutely loved it.' Amanda Mason, author of The Hiding Place Sharp, elegantly written, and dripping with suspense. A wonderfully crafted closed room mystery that had me turning the pages at record speed. J. A. Corrigan, author of The Nurse
