'Taut,
dark, and nail-bitingly suspenseful, this story is fiendishly
clever and packed full of unexpected twists and turns.'
Booklist on Come and Be Killed
'A galloping
pace from the very first page...'
'A striking book that crime fans would wish to read...' (Prey Silence)
Crime Squad
'Prey Silence is a dark, disturbing
and compelling tale that will haunt any dreams of a quiet retreat
in rural France.'
Clare Littleford (Fiction reviewer
for the Yorkshire Post)
'An an alarming story
of surprises and shocks...' (A Night With No Stars)
Gerald Kaufman (Reviewer
for The Scotsman)
'.... And whilst in
France (as so many of us are nowadays), Sally Spedding has written
an
excellent creepy
chiller of what can happen to ex-pats who fall foul of their new
neighbours. 'Prey Silence' (Allison & Busby £18.99) is
the perfect gift for all those tiresome people who boast about
the French idyll they're about to live.'
Carla McKay (fiction reviewer for the Daily Mail)
‘She’s
unquestionably got what it takes’
Crime Time
'Sally Spedding is a
font of creepy stories, the kind of tales which wheedle their
way back into your mind,
hours
maybe days and weeks later…’
Western Mail
'A subtle chiller
which slowly ramps up the tension’ (Wringland)
Starburst
'Sally Spedding...has been credited
with being a latter day Du Maurier...'
Crime Squad
'A fine, evocative and
haunting first novel…a
contemporary ghost story to keep your heart pumping’ (Wringland)
SFX Magazine
'You may not have heard
of Sally Spedding - but you will, you will. Wringland is a tale
of chilling menace
and powerful
atmosphere set in haunted fen country. We've been in this territory
before, but seldom to such good effect; Spedding knows that before
delivering the set-pieces it's essential to carefully build suspense
through both unsettling incident and sense of locale - at both,
she's unquestionably got what it takes. The heroine's job as a
sales negotiator
for a property firm takes her to the sinister Black Fen and a
series of increasingly disturbing incidents. This is a ghost story
handled
with real assurance.’ (Wringland)
Barry Forshaw
'Sally Spedding is the mistress
of her craft...'
