In every book she makes the words sing -- Ann Cleeves Nail-biting, heart-wrenching stuff. Black Thorn has the atmosphere and drama of a modern-day du Maurier novel. Sarah Hilary’s uncanny ability to make readers not just see through her characters’ eyes but feel through their skin in unparalleled -- Erin Kelly on <i>Black Thorn</i> A creepy and atmospheric tale, beautifully and sensitively written -- <i>The Guardian</i> on <i>Black Thorn</i> A mesmerizing story of family and community, secrets and lies. Psychologically rich and captivatingly told, Sarah Hilary’s Black Thorn sweeps you into its dark embrace from the start and holds you there until its final revelations -- Megan Abbott on <i>Black Thorn</i> Exudes a tightly controlled menace that ratchets up to full-blown claustrophobia as the pages turn. A book that oozes under your skin from the opening sentence -- Vaseem Khan on <i>Black Thorn</i> Sarah Hilary has done it again with this tale of toxicity in all its forms. Excellent writing and tight plotting on top of shifting sands make Black Thorn an unforgettable read with the most sympathetic protagonist I've read in years -- Liz Nugent on <i>Black Thorn</i> Multi-layered, unexpected, and carrying a strong emotional punch, Black Thorn is refreshingly different. Sarah Hilary is an exceptionally gifted writer -- Sharon Bolton on<i> Black Thorn</i> Brilliant. Taking a really deep dive into some dark spaces that Sarah brings vividly to life, it's wonderful and unlike anything else I've read lately -- Mick Herron on <i>Black Thorn</i> A stunning, haunting and often moving novel. I loved it -- Anna Mazzola on <i>Black Thorn</i> Sarah Hilary is a writer with all the gifts: character and psychology, language and one-more-chapter suspense. In twisting, turning, ever-changing Black Thorn, she shows us how very easily the wrong people can turn paradise into hell on earth -- Lucie Whitehouse on <i>Black Thorn</i> An *extraordinary* book. Beautifully written, densely plotted, with an uncanny insight into the best and worst of family relationships -- Emma Flint on <i>Black Thorn</i> I was blown away by the writing and the world and the sensitivity with which the characters are drawn . . . you literally absorb it. Sarah Hilary just gets better and better -- Sabine Durrant on <i>Black Thorn</i>
