WHAT READERS ARE SAYING ABOUT SUSANNA BEARD “This novel bears all the hallmarks of a great thriller. It not only deals with huge issues like greed, guilt, evil and revenge, but with Anna’s deeply personal search for justice, reconciliation, forgiveness and trust. Her journey takes her to the very limits of herself but, at its heart, [this] is also a story about love in its best forms and I defy anyone not to get swept up in it.” Claire “It is taut and tense and builds to an electrifying conclusion.” Kirsten “Articulate and gripping — an impressive achievement.” Shelley “I enjoyed Susanna’s emotive and thought-provoking novel — I thought it was an engrossing mystery.” Sam
