''I always look forward to a new book from this talented author, and SUN DAMAGE lived up to every expectation. It was my final read during my recent holiday in Corfu and the descriptions of the searing heat of the French setting was exquisitely done, especially as the temperatures in Greece soared that week too.'' Lincs Reader, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
''SUN DAMAGE is the perfect holiday read, not least because of how it is set against the languid backdrop of beaches and cafes, market towns and lazy lunches at a house share (with a pool, of course) in the South of France. After so many years without such a getaway insight, I felt I was more transported with each page.'' Melanie Garrett, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
''Sabine Durrant never disappoints and her new novel SUN DAMAGE is excellent, with an atmospheric setting, believable characters and twisty plot. I found the little observations about human nature quite fascinating, almost like surreptitious people watching.'' Lovebooks, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Secrets and tensions rise along with the temperature until they reach boiling point - Red
Another masterful trouble-in-paradise book from Sabine Durrant, whose sharp observations strip bare the darkness we all try to hide. The suspense sizzles off every page - Erin kelly
Plenty of Ripleyish peril to keep the nerves on edge - Clare Chambers
Sun-soaked brilliance - Sarah Hilary
Absorbing, intriguing, with great twists and pace, SUN DAMAGE is a wonderful rollercoaster of a read - B.A. Paris
Gripping . . . Full of twists, secrets and tension - My Weekly
Pacy and intriguing, this has a sizzling tension all the way through - Fabulous
A masterclass of slow-burning psychological suspense, packed with intrigue and full of the most delightfully unreliable narrators one could ever wish to meet . . . It is an intricately woven book of many layers, in which Durrant ponders questions around the nature of guilt, culpability and coercive control, all wrapped up in a wonderfully addictive story. It should come with a warning, since believe me, once you start, you'll resent everyone and anything that drags you away from reading it - Perspective Magazine
