Night Mares

Dr Nina Crawford of the University of Glasgow's Veterinary College - driven, fanatically dedicated, a survivor - is one of the most respected equine surgeons in the country. But now she seems to be losing her grip, on her operating theatre, on her skills - and on her mind. A surgeon's worst nightmare is coming true before her eyes: "The operation was a great success, but the patient died." All of her cases are dying after routine surgery and she has no idea why, or how, or what to do to stop it. Under the fierce scrutiny of those around her, Nina feels herself spiralling into the depths that led her, years before, to attempt suicide. Kellen Stewart is Nina's therapist - and also her friend. Now her own horse needs emergency surgery and Nina is the only one who can do it. As the boundaries blur between friendship and professional relationship, it becomes clear that it's not only the horses' lives that are on the line.

Reviews

A truly terrifying debut novel

—— My Weekly

This is a strong, spell-binding crime novel that shows much promise of dark treasures to come from this author

—— Crimesquad

The Advent Killer is both well written and entertaining and I found myself racing to find out what would happen next, and who the killer was

If Police Procedurals with a strong female main character are your bag, grab a copy of The Advent Killer ... actually... buy a few - they'd make a great Christmas gift for any Crime Fiction lover

Gunn cleverly builds suspense throughout his fantastic debut novel...The Advent Killer was a well written read from this debut novelist, who shows a great promise of things to come.

If you're looking for a gripping, gruesome, fast-paced page-turner that will keep you guessing right up until the killer's identity is revealed...then The Advent Killer is for you. I found myself happily racing through it in a couple of sittings, and I'd defy anyone who picked it up not to want to do the same

A good debut

This book was brilliant from start to finish and a proper page-turner. I finished this in a couple of days and loved every second of reading
