'This beautifully written tale, with its unique storyline, strong characters and atmosphere of tension and intrigue, is a book to treasure' Crime Review. 'Atmospheric and eerie ... the narrative is brisk, and the characters are well-rounded and believable' The Tablet. 'Authentic ... Excellent on paranoia and the atmosphere of the eerie salt-marshes' Country Life. 'Really well written, with a unique storyline ... The locations were superb, and well-chosen to give added flavour and depth to this absorbing read' Shots Magazine. 'I would urge you to read both Orkney Twilight and The Salt Marsh if you like your crime multi-faceted with a more literary leaning. Highly recommended' Raven Crime Reads. 'Original and enthralling' Bookshelf Butterfly. 'I am increasingly impressed by the standard of novels being published by Head of Zeus. I have not read one I have disliked or thought lacking in expertise or originality. The Salt Marsh is another of this ilk ... well written and evocative with a great sense of tension and of place' Frost Magazine. 'The writing, whether about people or places, is excellent' Sunday Express.
