It reads like The Wicker Man for the Brexit era * Chris Brookmyre on The Old Religion * A raw, deftly-plotted thriller with a dark heart and a real emotional punch * Simon Kernick * A guaranteed thrill-ride * Sarah Pinborough on The Old Religion * One of the very best crime writers we have * Mark Billingham * I loved it. Every word. Superbly written, creepy as hell, and chilling to the bone. I can't recommend it highly enough! * Luca Veste on The Old Religion * Martyn Waites is crime fiction royalty * Steve Cavanagh * The Sinner is a dark, atmospheric thriller with an intriguing backstory that makes me want to seek out the first book in the series, and I always know a book and its characters have worked for me when that's the end result. * Crime Review *
