Reviews for Tastes Like Fear (D.I. Marnie Rome 3)
Brilliant. I put everything else aside when I have one of her books in the house
Alex Marwood A tense, terrifying tale of obsession and possession . . . a writer at the top of her game
Alison Graham
Radio Times
One of Britain's best new crime writers
Daily Mail
A truly chilling exploration ... Read moreof control, submission and the desire to step out of a normal life
Eva Dolan Marnie goes from strength to strength... this one drips with the gritty, dirty, danger of the urban wastelands around the river
Julia Crouch Highly compelling and atmospheric... the storyline and characters involved me completely, from the very first
Kate Rhodes Hilary's depiction of 13-year-old Laura Beswick, Loz, is heartbreaking and convincing. This pacy, easy-reading novel is lifted by its perceptive examination of the distress of girls who don't believe they fit their allotted space in the world and the agony of the parents who try to make them understand how deeply they are loved
N. J. Cooper Writes with an effortless ease and fervour that displays what an accomplished writer she is

For Winter Nights blog
Mixing a strong sense of social justice with carefully crafted characters and an interesting plot, this is a powerful piece of crime writing that builds to an emotionally charged conclusion
Sydney Herald
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
