THIS!!
'Deadman’s Pool is dark, and at times brutal, but it’s also tender and deeply humane. The contrast between Mai’s desperate plight and Ben’s quiet determination is what gives the book its power. By the end, I was emotionally drained; the best kind of crime novel experience.'
#DeadmansPool
There are such important threads sewn into this incredible book!
'What unfolds is a story about control, exploitation, and survival, but also about compassion and community and about how far people will go to protect one another, even in the darkest of times.'
#DeadmansPool
SO CHILLING!
'As the investigation deepens, whispers begin to surface about illegal migrant workers and conspiracy theories believed by the young people of the islands. Mai is a young Vietnamese woman whose story runs parallel to Ben's investigation.'
#DeadmansPool
100% THIS!
'From the very first page it pulls you straight into the salt-tinged world of DI Ben Kitto; this time, facing perhaps his most emotionally wrenching case yet.'
#DeadmansPool
OH MY! Love this!
'Deadman's Pool is the latest in the Isles of Scilly mysteries and it is outstanding. I have loved every single page of it. Even if you've not read any of the others in the series, this one is so well written that I assure you, you won't get lost!'
#DeadmansPool
'When I've looked back through my reading lists, I've found that I first read Kate Rhodes in 2014, over ten years ago. I haven't read all of her books, and I've certainly not read them in order (naughty!), but I've always enjoyed her style of writing'

This is what we love to read!
A new fan of the DI Ben Kitto series has been secured!
'I will have to backtrack and read the first seven Isles of Scilly books when time allows, but I will definitely read any books that continue the series.'
#DeadmansPool
'The book is a page turner. With the discovery of the body at the beginning, my interest was captured and it never waned thereafter. I was concerned for Mai’s fate as soon as she was introduced, but suspense ramped up when the case takes a personal turn for Ben...'
#DeadmansPool
Grab your detective hat, we're on a case!
'The book has the reader playing detective along with Ben and his team. Because we are given Mai’s perspective, we know a bit about the perpetrator [...] and the type of place where she is being held captive...'
#DeadmansPool
'There are also brief interludes from the point of view of Mai, a sixteen-year-old Vietnamese girl who has been held captive by a man for six years. She has recently given birth to a son Lao whom the man has taken away. I found her sections a harrowing read...'
#DeadmansPool
'the investigation gets underway it throws up more questions than there are answers and with each new revelation Ben begins to question everything he ever knew about the islanders and the place he calls home. There’s quite a dark subject at the core of the book...'
#DeadmansPool
''His personal journey is very much part of the narrative but it is also his utter commitment to any investigation and the natural bond he has with the place of his birth which makes each story so compelling. And of course there is also Shadow, such a wonderful character...''
#DeadmansPool
OH MY!
'Beautifully written, Deadman’s Pool is a deeply chilling and complex thriller by an author who knows how to hold the reader in the palm of her hand. I was so engrossed in the story, and blown away by the conclusion'
#DeadmansPool by Kate Rhodes is out NOW!
100% THIS!
'Deadman’s Pool starts off with an absolute chiller of a prologue and with a mysterious narrator whose harrowing experiences sets the tone for the whole of the story and which had me quickly turning to the first chapter already eager to discover more.'

OH MY!
'Rhodes really knows how to keep you guessing, lining up a set of highly suspicious candidates for the role of guilty party, and mixing in the whisper of conspiracy to cloud your judgement. As the action gathers in pace, I really did not know who to trust'
#DeadmansPool
THIS!
'I absolutely loved the way this story is set against the wind and wuthering of storm season, which heightens the tension, and feelings of isolation and desperation. Unpredictable weather, and fragmented communities separated by the capricious sea stand as characters...'
#DeadmansPool

'I love the idea of thin places, that ghosts are not necessarily trying to haunt you, they’re just going about their business. In fact you’re probably as much of a fright for them as they are for you. It’s just that the veil between us and them has worn so thin...'
#DeadmansPool
We so agree with this!
'The atmosphere created by the author along with the description of the body make it one of the most horrifying I’ve read, emphasising that this is a human being clearly emaciated and treated with extreme violence.'
#DeadmansPool
OH MY!
'This is a fantastic crime novel, acknowledging both the savagery of someone who will traffic young women and keep them captive, but also the wildness and daily difficulty of living on these islands in the Atlantic. When a storm blows in people are cut off...'

'This is a brilliant setting for a crime novel, as it means that everyone is under suspicion and this disrupts the usual way of life on the island. I loved getting to know the residents better, but I had no idea who was responsible for the crimes...'
