Catherine Ryan Howard is a master thriller writer and RUN TIME is up there with the best, as the movie set of nightmares she so evocatively conjures starts to turn on its lead actress. The twisty, ingenious plotting, and atmospheric location make for a deeply chilling and unputdownable read. I didn't want it to end!
Sarah Pearse, bestselling author of The Sanatorium Thrilling, hugely entertaining and highly inventive
