Podrobnosti o e‑knize

Three master manipulators and a woman in love clash in the worlds of surveillance, voyeurism and art.

Miranda’s ex wants her back. His mother will do anything to keep them apart. Her secret weapon? A seductive Adonis with demons of his own – and plans for Miranda. Both moral tale and guilty pleasure, ‘Kiss’ is a thriller whose violence is emotional – and all the worse because done in the name of love.

AmazonUK bestseller. Short-listed for Readers’ Choice Award (2013).

‘Cast a spell over me from the opening words ... Strange and unexpected ... Seductive, powerful ... excellent overall.’ – Red Haircrow, flyingwithredhaircrow.wordpress.com

‘Consummately crafted … Like a Fabergé egg … made to beautifully display the fact that it contains a secret. One reads on with the pleasure of anticipating its revelation … In a class all to itself … Tight prose and a great mystery.’ – Mapuche2, Amazon.com reader
