Books in the Media

Our brilliant authors have received lots of great press recently!

• The Spectator have called MADAME MATISSE by Sophie Haydock “deliciously immersive… Think of her as the art world’s slightly spikier answer to Philippa Gregory… I took Madame Matisse on a wet, grey holiday and it swept me into a world of startling, splashy colour.”

• Saga Magazine have called MADAME MATISSE  “a work of vivid imagination, colour and verve”.

• THE RETIREMENT PLAN by Sue Hincenbergs is one of Goodreads’ ‘45 Most Anticipated Spring Mysteries and Thrillers’!

• HIDDEN TREASURE by Jessie Burton was included in the Guardian’s roundup of   ‘the best new picture books and novels’ for children. They call it “hauntingly beautiful”!

• In a piece she has written for Harpers Bazaar’s April issue, Jessie Burton reflects on her dual identity as a writer and mother.

• Breaking News, Irish News and Ireland Live have mentioned BAD BLOOD by Sarah Hornsley in their ‘Five new books to read this week’ articles. Alan Jones writes: "The author has been a literary agent for a decade, but her debut novel proves she is an accomplished addition to the ranks of psychological thriller writers."

• Good Housekeeping have offered a lovely review of THE DEATH OF US by Abigail Dean: “Dean cleverly weaves backwards and forwards in time to create a powerful, unsettling story.”

• My Weekly call THE DEATH OF US “a story of love shattered by an explosive event”

• Prima’s Nina Pottell has written that “I read much of this [The Death of Us] holding my breath… a dark and powerful tale.”
