Full on, fast paced, gripping

A supreme writer . . . unforgettable vividness

The most addictive of writers . . . a unique teller of tales

With a twisty plot and dark, nuanced characters, Hold Your Tongue makes for compulsive reading. Not only is it a fantastic crime novel, but the start of an exciting new series.

Gritty, gruesome and NOT to be missed!! Hold Your Tongue is a shocking and brilliant debut by an author who has the rare talent to drag the reader right into the heart of the story and keep them on the edge of their seat until the very last page. I loved DI Eve Hunter’s ability to be both fragile - emotionally and physically broken, and wracked with guilt - and at the same time 100% badass! She was an instantly likeable heroine and one I can’t wait to read about again.

Expertly paced, intriguing and with a strong emotional kick - this is a great start to a fab new detective series.

Hold Your Tongue is a cracking police procedural with enough gruesome deaths to satisfy even the darkest appetite.

A taut thriller.

Very moving.

A gritty exploration of the power of family ties.

Sprawling, intuitive and immaculately told, this is a powerful evocation of grief and regret that haunts to the final page.

Much more than a police procedural, this is multi-layered and the reading pleasure is in the development of the characters.
