A siren-like read, the storyline simply swallowed me whole, it created such tension I could not stop reading! Mac a retired history lecturer who specialises in folklore and oral tradition hires Lucie who is running away from her life, as her Girl-Friday. As the story reveals itself, so does a threatening and deadly presence. The sense of foreboding sent shivers down my arms. While this is a very modern story, it has the feel of a twisted ghostly fairytale as a deep dark power weaves through the pages. Both Mac and Lucie tell their own tales, while another story ensures the past shimmers ever closer, before crashing into the present. I also adored Sandra Ireland’s debut ‘Beneath the Skin’, her writing has the ability to seduce, while creating a slicing piercing energy. I feel as though I was fated to read ‘Bone Deep’, that our paths were meant to cross, it is a chilling, yet absolute treasure of a book - highly recommended.

Creepy, tense and with a sense of foreboding that builds and builds, leaving the reader breathless.

The Watermill - disused and eerie, its wheel creaking in the wind - has a secret. A legend of love rivals, sisters and murder. 

Mac is the local writer, compiling a book of local legends and myths, and the one story that has her undivided attention is the story of the two sisters both now long dead. Everyone knows about the Watermill, the two sisters and the stories surrounding it. What stories it could tell if it could speak, but it's not just the mill that has secrets, Mac has one she hasn't even told her son Arthur. Her assistant Lucie has one too, and these along with the Watermill's are about to surface and the forbidding finger of doom, is about to tear their lives apart.... Read Full Review

A sinister tale with a predictable plot.

Bone Deep is a Gothic novel with powerful themes of love, betrayal and revenge. I enjoyed the alternating dual narrative and the interwoven stories of the complex main characters, Mac and Lucie. However, the plot felt predictable and lacking in suspense at times.... Read Full Review

A legend of the past has a hold of the present.

‘What happens when you fall in love with the wrong person?’ You may think you are about to sit down with a cosy romance, but his book is deemed a psychological thriller and so the reader is instantly aware that this is not going to be an easy ride for the two main female characters, Mac an elderly writer, and Lucie, the woman who arrives to be her ‘Girl Friday.’ Set over the period of a year it is told in the first person with chapters interlaced between the two women, a great idea for this type of novel because we get to know both women intimately as the novel unfolds. And then there is the historical story that is being written in the background about the plight of two sisters who lived in the abandoned water mill.... Read Full Review
