Nail-biting, heart-pounding suspense that leaps from one dizzying twist to another. THE SPLIT grips like permafrost. * JP Delaney *
THE SPLIT is terrific: vivid, tense and superbly paced. A masterclass in using the setting to drive the plot, in Cambridge and icy South Georgia. Highly recommended. * Jane Casey *
extremely entertaining [with] characters who have relationships that work -- Natasha Cooper * Literary Review *
Bolton's depiction of this stark, beautiful, remote wilderness is a balm to the soul in these restricted times and her complicated mystery a welcome diversion from reality. -- Alison Flood * The Observer, New Review *
A compulsive page-turner * Prima *
The remoteness of the location bestows a sense of brooding tension, which is coupled to heart-stopping action sequences, making this into an extraordinary thriller. This is intelligent crime writing at its very best; not to be missed. * SHOTS eMag *
Atmospheric [...], a dark and disturbing page-turner. * Choice Magazine *
This dark tale has more than a few twists and turns to keep you guessing. -- Lisa Howells * Crime Monthly *
