A bookseller's review of Secrecy by Rupert Thomson
Secrecy by Rupert Thomson is a lush, ethereal love story, set against the dark and treacherous backdrop of Florence in the 1690s. It is a bold and beautiful story and will hopefully bring Thomson the wider recognition he so richly deserves.

Joan Campbell Reviews Never Let Go
For somebody who generally takes two or three weeks to read a book, my recent three-day book sprint is rather remarkable. The last time I read anything so quickly was probably as a student procrastinating from studying. Never Let Go wasn’t even a book I would normally have picked up at the library or bookstore. I tend to stay away from covers that shout “thriller” and that is exactly what the rather chilling cover communicates.
