Readers love Sabine Durrant:

”I’ve read all of this author’s books and enjoyed them. Thank you Sabine Durrant for a great read.” meggies mum, ?????

”Oh I adored this novel, I raced through it in a day and bit. I was enraptured and it’s definitely a winner.” Lolly130612, ?????

”Could not put this down. Brilliant lead characters and such a clever plot. I love this author and this is my favourite so far – sunshine and suspense – a winning combination!” Booklover, ?????

”This is a perfect holiday read set in a Villa in the South of France! Sabine Durrant’s characters always have something to hide and those in SUN DAMAGE are no exception to this.” Annette C, ?????

”I always look forward to a new book from this talented author, and SUN DAMAGE lived up to every expectation. It was my final read during my recent holiday in Corfu and the descriptions of the searing heat of the French setting was exquisitely done, especially as the temperatures in Greece soared that week too.” Lincs Reader, ?????

”SUN DAMAGE is the perfect holiday read, not least because of how it is set against the languid backdrop of beaches and cafés, market towns and lazy lunches at a house share (with a pool, of course) in the South of France. After so many years without such a getaway insight, I felt I was more transported with each page.” Melanie Garrett, ?????

”Sabine Durrant never disappoints and her new novel SUN DAMAGE is excellent, with an atmospheric setting, believable characters and twisty plot. I found the little observations about human nature quite fascinating, almost like surreptitious people watching.” Lovebooks, ?????

Verity Baxter has lived – quietly, carefully – in Trinity Fields all her life. Then Ailsa and Tom Tilson move in next door and everything changes. Can Verity trust what she hears through the walls?

And what about the Tilsons: should they pity their eccentric neighbour and her messy house? Or should they fear her?

Either way, like the ivy that creeps through their shared garden fence, their lives are entwined now. And the knots can only get tighter . . .
