Like a game of twister the shocks and surprises will tie you in knots
Truly unsettling . . . creepy
Duckworth's best yet
A perfect domestic suspense, wonderfully sinister and compelling with a pounding sense of upcoming doom. A real page-turner
A completely addictive read where no-one can be trusted and nothing is as it seems. I loved every page
Duckworth has triumphed in fusing the unassuming serene with the abject sinister in her propulsive novel, The Sanctuary. With every chapter, there is layered tension and intrigue. I ripped through it
I sped through this sinister locked-room mystery which is both gripping and compulsive with twists galore. More please Charlotte!
A superbly plotted thriller - I could not put it down
A writer at the top of her thriller game. Suspense, intrigue and a setting to die for
A fast-paced, twisty thriller about pregnancy and pampering in an isolated retreat where nothing is quite as it seems. I thoroughly enjoyed it
A compelling read. All credit to Charlotte for wrapping me up in the story and leading me astray
Full of tension and secrets and so many twists! I LOVED it! Another thrilling read from Charlotte Duckworth
Gripping, insightful and a wee bit creepy at times, I raced through The Sanctuary
Dark, compelling and wonderfully creepy - a definite must-read
I always really enjoy Charlotte's books - the twists and turns will keep you riveted
Addictively readable and packed with secrets, I flew through this!
Taut with tension from the outset and suspicious of everyone, you'll not be able to put this down until you reach the deliciously satisfying conclusion
[A] dark, tense thriller
