An unusual premise and shocking twists. I loved it! * Claire Douglas on SILENT WATERS * A thrillingly murky tale of tainted love * Janice Hallett on SILENT WATERS * A highly addictive one-sit read * Jack Jordon on SILENT WATERS * Utterly compelling, where nothing is as it seems * John Marrs on SILENT WATERS *
I adored this. A beautifully written novel about the secrets within a marriage and the past coming back to haunt you. * Claire Douglas * A clever, provocative and twisting story of loyalty and lies, marriage and mystery. I couldn’t turn the pages fast enough. * Chris Whitaker * A tensely written, thoughtful thriller that will stay with you long after you’ve put it down. * Jennie Godfrey * A riveting and poignant read. Matthews has masterfully rendered a tale of love, death and betrayal. * Oyinkan Braithwaite * A spellbinding tale of deception and betrayal that asks the ultimate question: how well do we really know the ones we love? Fantastically twisty storytelling. * T.M. Logan * An exceptional read. Nail biting, and utterly addictive, fans of Lisa Jewell will love this. * John Marrs * A masterful feat of storytelling, with a kaleidoscopic plot that shifts your perspective with every turn of the page. No word of a lie – this is one of the best crime novels I’ve ever read. * Amy McCulloch *
