Pearse goes from strength to strength in The Retreat. The suspense
inexorably builds to a stunning climax. An added treat is the
return of Elin Warner, who is a fascinating character one can only
root for.
*David Baldacci, No.1 Sunday Times bestselling author of Mercy*
'With The Retreat Sarah Pearse confirms her spot as a world-class
thriller writer. I only stopped turning the pages so I could
re-read a particularly fine piece of description or
characterisation. Superb.'
*Steve Cavanagh, Sunday Times bestselling author of Thirteen*
'I can't help but cheer for an author who ramps up the creepiness
at every turn.'
*Observer*
'Pearse skilfully builds a sense of foreboding throughout this
creepy thriller packed with satisfying twists.'
*Sunday Express*
'A well-written fusion of psychological thriller and whodunnit ...
Pearse smartly reworks Christie's setting, making her island at
once a gothic throwback, with caves and talk of a curse, and a very
21st-century escape, with green values and holistic therapy. And
she's very good on the relationships within the group as tension
builds.'
*The Sunday Times*
