Reviews of Foxlowe
-
- ‘Will lure you in – then cut to the kill’ Sarah Perry, Guardian
- ‘Meticulously conceived and darkly compelling. Underpinning the claustrophobic horror is a parable of unchecked sibling rivalry, a girl’s desperate need for motherly love and the knotted consequences of childhood trauma’ Observer

- ‘An accomplished debut . . . the ending [is] like a punch to the throat’ Independent
