When I Was Ten

Fiona Cummins evokes the dark arts of journalism and politics with an insider's relish in this rich, intricately woven novel of childhood crime and adult redemption. I finished it with my heart in my mouth. Highly recommended -- Louise Candlish on <i>When I Was Ten</i> This thriller explores typically dark territory for this author, who has a gift for tapping a rich seam of evil that underpins the surface of the every day. Superbly sinister -- <i>Sunday Mirror</i> on <i>The Neighbour</i> 'Absorbing, tense and beautifully paced' * Daily Mail * She is the master of depicting the way the most terrifyingly grotesque and evil psychopaths inveigle their way into the lives of ordinary people . . . When writing from the perspective of ordinary people caught up in horrific events, Fiona Cummins is unbeatable -- Jake Kerridge on <i>The Neighbour</i> * Sunday Express * The Neighbour is masterfully written and intricately plotted to keep the reader captivated until a hugely enjoyable finale -- Jon Coates * Daily Express * A crime novel of the very first order -- David Baldacci on <i>The Collector</i> Creepy as hell and kept me guessing to the very end -- Ian Rankin on <i>The Neighbour</i> Trust me - Cummins is a keeper -- Lee Child on <i>The Collector</i> It's rare that a debut has this much polish. Harrowing and horrifying, head and shoulders above most of the competition -- Val McDermid on <i>Rattle</i>
