Reviews
Fast-paced and brimming with superb characters. I couldn't put it down for a single second. Twelve stars! -- LISA JEWELL
Twelve Secrets is a smart, satisfying, one-of-a-kind thriller that entertained me from start to finish. It examines the confluence of family loyalties and dark secrets while keeping the plot boiling. -- JAMES PATTERSON
Utterly absorbing -- SHARI LAPENA
Ominous at the beginning, breathless by the end ... this is excellent hardcore suspense -- LEE CHILD
A pacey thriller full of twists and turns. You won't be able to put TWELVE SECRETS down until the very end. -- KARIN SLAUGHTER
A fine debut * The Sunday Times (Books of the Year) *
Twelve Secrets is rather special. So clever, so engrossing, a genuine 'just one more page' kind of book
-- M. W. CRAVENWhat a tangled web! Brilliantly weaved and then carefully unravelled for the big revelations at the end. A totally gripping read. -- SUSAN LEWIS
Absolutely addictive. An unforgettable and nuanced cast of characters, a claustrophobic setting, and a suspenseful and chilling examination of the dark and destructive power of secrets. You will sleep with your eyes open after reading this one. -- GILLY MACMILLAN
A tightly-woven thriller that races to a conclusion I didn't see coming -- NELL PATTISON
Original, unputdownable and a really great read -- KATIE FFORDE

A fantastic, plot-twisting debut. Original and addictive. -- CAMERON WARD
Twelve Secrets contains cliff-hangers and revelations galore. [It] is all plot, plot, plot - and, boy, what a lot it's got. * THE TIMES *
Fast-paced and shocking. * Woman's Weekly *
A page-turner with a final revelation that satisfies by being unguessable but retrospectively inevitable * Morning Star *
Satisfyingly twisty, straight from Harlan Coben territory and surely Netflix bound * IRISH INDEPENDENT *
