Reviews

Praise for Simon Toyne

Nail-biting and as haunting as the forest itself

* Daily Mail *

Beginning with a creepy abduction that unnerved me to my core, The Clearing follows an unsettling case where old myths and new greed collide. A welcome return for Laughton Rees and DCI Tannahill, getting to know them again as they reach the next stage of their budding relationship

-- Sam Holland

Everything you would expect from a thriller and then some

* Central Bylines *

Scared the bloody daylights out of me. The very definition of haunting. Toyne is a guru of suspense writing, and this is him at the top of his craft. Makes for a breath-taking read

-- Helen Fields

Simon Toyne is one of the best storytellers writing today, but even by his high standards, The Clearing is something really special The pacing is frantic but not rushed, the tension is almost unbearable, and the ending is genuinely one of the most jaw-dropping ones Ive read in a long time. Absolutely superb

-- M.W. Craven

In the spirit of Patricia Cornwells Kay Scarpetta Toyne makes the most of her creepy setting, and effectively conceals the truth behind the legend of the Cinderman until shes ready to reveal it. Everything here suggests that Rees merits a long series run

* Publishers Weekly *

A spine-chilling, creepy-suspenseful mystery masterpiece! This book had me hooked right to the end. I loved it!
