Review It's meaty, dark and terrifying. Unflinchingly violent and beautifully big-hearted in equal measure. And Sarah's writing is glorious - she tells us things in new ways, gives us a fully fleshed, sensual world to inhabit for the novel (Julia Crouch)I think it must be one of the debut novels of next year, if not THE debut novel... (It will be if there is any justice in the world!) (Caro Ramsay)Intelligently and fluently written with a clever plot and an energetic pace, dealing with harrowing topics and shot through with humanity, I think Sarah's onto a winning series and I really look forward to reading the next instalment (Cath Staincliffe)It's written with the verve and assurance of a future star and deserves to be a big hit (Steven Dunne)It has such pace and force. It's very disturbing and builds up to a terrific climax (Helen Dunmore)I finished it today and it's completely brilliant, complex, thrilling, brutal, tender, scary and intriguing. What a great book. The pacing is superb, the plot is compelling, the characters are so well drawn. The ending is ingenious (Richard Jones of Bristol Review of Books) Book Description Introducing DI Marnie Rome, SOMEONE ELSE'S SKIN is a deeply powerful novel that will enthral fans of Val McDermid and Mo Hayder.
