Hold Your Tongue is a tense debut in which the past and present collide with devastating consequences. I hope to read more of DI Eve Hunter.
Mari Hannah, author of HER LAST REQUEST
With a twisty plot and dark, nuanced characters, Hold Your Tongue makes for compulsive reading. Not only is it a fantastic crime novel, but the start of an exciting new series.
Jack Jordan, author of DO NO HARM
Gritty, gruesome and NOT to be missed!! Hold Your Tongue is a shocking and brilliant debut by an author who has the rare talent to drag the reader right into the heart of the story and keep them on the edge of their seat until the very last page. I loved DI Eve Hunter's ability to be both fragile - emotionally and physically broken, and wracked with guilt - and at the same time 100% badass! She was an instantly likeable heroine and one I can't wait to read about again.
Lauren North, author of SAFE AT HOME
Expertly paced, intriguing and with a strong emotional kick - this is a great start to a fab new detective series.
Susi Holliday, author of THE LAST RESORT
If you like your crime novels blood-curdling, Deborah Masson's debut is terrifying, edge-of-your-seat stuff.
Emma Curtis, author of ONE LITTLE MISTAKE
DI Eve Hunter is a truly believable cop. This authenticity draws the reader into a plot that not only compels, but is a stinging social comment on those who have and have not in our society. You can smell, taste and feel the dramatic backdrop of Aberdeen. Not to be missed, edge-of-the-seat stuff from a genuine rising star.
Denzil Meyrick, author of FOR ANY OTHER TRUTH
Skilful plotting, a complex detective and utterly believable characters - this is first-class crime fiction.
Marion Todd, author of SEE THEM RUN
