This positive, thoughtful review of Sockpuppet initially passed me by. I always like it when people respond to the characters in my writing, and this is a great example:

“It's the characters that show the final breath of fresh air in a thriller - the strongest and most interesting characters are all female. Jonquil, Beth and Dani herself are complex characters, all quite different and not subject to fitting in with the regular notion of lead females in thrillers. All their vulnerabilities are clearly played out, it's refreshing to recognise lead female characters that actually resemble people one might meet in real life.”

“It’s not just the plausibility and excitement of this book that should make it a hit, it's the fact that it avoids all other obvious thriller cliches."
