—— Deborah MassonG.R. Halliday has created a wonderfully atmospheric and taut novel with UNDER THE MARSH. Perfectly paced and deliciously misleading, I was led down various different rabbit holes to find out what had happened, and to keep this level of intrigue is something so difficult now in this genre!
