What They're Saying

Critics Review

The search for a long-abducted child catches fire beneath the sizzling Cyprus sun, as Lodge ratchets up the tension. A kidnap mystery that works equally as a suspense thriller. Summer read sorted! – Vaseem Khan
A super smart and surprising read – Jane Fallon
A unique spin on the destination thriller, Please Help Me is a gripping missing person mystery and a hot will-they-won’t-they romance with suspects and sassy teenagers galore. The perfect cocktail of sultry weather and simmering chemistry, it has all of Gytha Lodge’s hallmark twists, humour and expert misdirection, with a cast of characters I loved spending time with. A total pageturner – Nicci Cloke, author of Her Many Faces
Praise for Gytha Lodge – :
A novel that literally makes you hold your breath then gasp out loud – Val McDermid
I totally recommend this twisty, unpredictable thriller – Claire Douglas
Propulsive, pacy, hugely immersive – a brilliantly told story. I didn’t want it to end but also couldn’t stop turning the pages! – Andrea Mara
A dark, deep, terrific thriller – Nicci French
