Reviews

What a cracking thriller. If you like dark, twisty ghostly tales with a riddle to solve, [I] highly recommended but *keep the light on*Joanna Cannon

This marvellously creep tale darkly menacing, it superbly depicts a young womans battle with terrifying anxieties. Daily Mail

An evocative, atmospheric setting, brilliantly drawn characters and a gripping mystery at the heart of it all: this fantastic novel has everything. Alex Lake

A haunting tale with dark shadows around every corner I loved it. Intriguing and immersive, The Drowning Hour held me captive to the very last word. Marion Todd

Instantly captivating. Spooky from page one Monique Roffey

By turns compelling, unsettling and frightening, and always fiercely gripping Ben Timberlake

Spooky and atmospheric with some very clever twists I raced through this. Catherine Cooper

Praise for S. K. Tremayne:

There is more than a hint of Daphne Du Maurier in this gripping thriller Daily Mail

The wild setting, drenched in folklore, provides atmosphere to this thriller Sunday Mirror

An unsettling thriller, guaranteed to tie your mind up in knots Heat

'Pulsing with tension Woman and Home

JUST BEFORE I DIED is a fantastic read that weaves an eerie spell around the reader. It does for Dartmoor what THE DRY does for the Outback Cass Green, bestselling author of IN A COTTAGE IN A WOOD

Brooding, dark and atmospheric: I was drawn in from the first page, gripped by the multiple layers and sense of menace. JUST BEFORE I DIED has shades of Wuthering Heights; it is set in a different landscape but one that is equally powerfully invoked. Im not sure Ill ever look at Dartmoor the same way againAlex Lake, bestselling author of AFTER ANNA
