Recenzii

Brilliant escapism. Perfect for fans of The White Lotus, it had me gripped
Clear your diary, as this taut, compulsive thriller demands to be read in one go
Alice's writing reels you in and doesn't let you go. Full of lies and secrets, The Cove is a gripping thriller and a must-read for 2022
Taut and tense, this might make you think twice about holidaying with new friends
A proper page turner
Filled with sun, sea and building dread, this is a true page-turner with a terrific cast of characters and a vividly drawn setting
A paradise island. A fabulous family holiday. But dark secrets and murky truths lie beneath the crystal clear waters. Alcohol and simmering resentments are an explosive mix in this tense psychological thriller that stops holiday envy in its tracks
A superbly menacing psychological thriller
From the first page to the last word Alice Clark-Platts has delivered the perfect thriller; tight, evocative prose, a foreboding sense of place and a tense, unrelenting plot that never takes its foot off the accelerator. As ever, she takes us to the darkest of places and shines her brilliant light on the nuances of being human. Compelling, disturbing and totally unforgettable, I loved it!
The Cove is a stylish and taut thriller with a sting in its tail. I loved it
Another brilliant thriller from Alice Clark-Platts. The Cove stayed with me for days. I can really see it being made into a film
Really gripping ... dripping with tension
