What They're Saying
Critics Review
A brilliantly crafted, wonderfully atmospheric thriller, full of secrets, suspense and simmering tension, I was gripped from page one, while the shocking twist had my jaw on the floor. Cheshire is a huge talent in the thriller genre. – A.A. Chaudhuri, author of UNDER HER ROOF
A taut, twisty, edge-of-my-seat medical thriller. The tension is constantly ramped up immersing the reader in Anika’s condition, the lush setting of Sri Lanka forcing her to question her memories and even her mind itself, and with an ending that was just ‘chef’s kiss’ perfect. I loved it! – Ronali Collings, author of ANYONE BUT HIM
Terrific … Gets creepier by the page – Ajay Chowdhury, author of THE DETECTIVE KAMIL RAHMAN series
A beautifully written, sun-kissed thriller … Will leave you gasping – Carly Reagon, author of THE INFIRMARY
The Lying Guest is a whip-smart, crime thriller with heart. Cheshire introduces us to Anika, an enigmatic protagonist, set within a vividly drawn backdrop where you feel the heat of the sun and the grains of sand between your toes. You will be transported into the lives of the characters and the vibrant, rich landscapes of the island of Sri Lanka. With reveals and twists until the very end, this page-turner ensures you will keep reading at lightning speed – Christie J. Newport, author of THE RAVEN’S MARK and THE ORDINARY MAN
