'TERRIFIC IN EVERY WAY' LEE CHILD
You won't be able to put down the spine-tingling new novel from the author of The Chalk Man . . .
___________
THEN
One night, my little sister went missing.
There were searches, appeals. Everyone thought the worst.
And then, miraculously, she came back.
She couldn't, or wouldn't, say what had happened.
But she wasn't the same afterwards. She wasn't my Annie.
Because sometimes my own little sister scared me to death . . .
NOW
The email arrives in my inbox:
I know what happened to your sister.
It's happening again . . .

Some writers have it, and some don't. C. J. Tudor has it big time . . . The Taking of Annie Thorne is terrific in every way
Confirms Tudor as Britain's female Stephen King. There is a creeping dread on every page and, as you start a new chapter, a dark shadow over your shoulder. Tudor's punk prose style and her great eye for menace make this a book no one should read at night.
There is no sign of second-album syndrome: the mix of grotty provincial realism and amateur cold-case sleuthing works just as well here
As enjoyable and well written as her first, The Chalk Man
Dark, gothic and utterly compelling, The Taking of Annie Thorne pulls off a rare combination - an atmosphere of unsettling evil along with richly nuanced characterisation
Tudor's 2018 The Chalk Man was a standout mystery novel with a fresh voice and a spooky plot. This is even better
Shows that her excellent The Chalk Man was no one-off in matching Stephen King for creepiness
From the author of The Chalk Man comes an equally creepy story about missing children
Spine-tingling
Spine tinglingly good
