Whatever genre she's working in, Pinborough is well worth keeping an eye on - SFX

Pinborough really knows how to drag the reader into her books. Tightly written, tightly plotted and highly entertaining

Few writers blend mystery and the supernatural as well as Sarah Pinborough, but there are none who do it better. Quite, quite brilliant
