Critics Review

A master of her craft

Exquisitely written and addictively dark, The Swimming Pool is sheer perfection – Clare MackintoshA compulsive psychological thriller that will give you the shivers * Sunday Mirror *A clever, claustrophobic thriller * Fabulous Magazine *Unapologetically dark, deliciously descriptive and heavy with that irresistible sense of foreboding, this is a novel that redefines the term ‘unputdownable’ * Heat *Tautly plotted and claustrophobic - a psychological drama with edge * Good Housekeeping *This story will keep you hooked with unexpected twists and turns until the end, when secrets and lies are exposed * Candis *Clever, atmospheric and ridiculously addictive – Kate RiordanGripping from start to finish, it wrapped itself around me and swept me along in its wake. I loved it and simply did not want it to end – Rosanna LeyAs languidly seductive as summer itself, this is a tense, unsettling tale about the secrets and lies submerged beneath the smooth surface of a leafy London neighbourhood lido. Bravo, Louise Candlish! – Tammy CohenThe Swimming Pool is a slow-burning and thought-provoking read, and the last few gripping pages had me immediately reaching for the beginning * Love Reading *
