No mince pies, no carols.

No way out . . .

a great anti-Christmas tale

Cleopatra Loves Books Blog

Chilling, twisty and addictive. I finished the last few pages walking from the train station, bumping into people, because I couldn't put it down.

JULIE COHEN (author of Dear Thing)

A deliciously dark winter’s tale that delivers twist after twist as it races towards its shocking conclusion. The perfect thriller to curl up with this Christmas.

MARK EDWARDS (author of The Magpies)

I read Dying For Christmas peering out from between my fingers in fright - but I could NOT put it down. The twist left me reeling! I love all Tammy's books and this one is no exception.

LOUISE VOSS (co-author of From the Cradle)

Makes Gone Girl look like a beginners guide to gaslighting.

@PLMcElroy

Disturbing, compelling and utter genius.

@caroline_S

Dying for Christmas is one of the darkest and most ingenious pyschological thrillers on the market at the moment.

CultureFly.co.uk

Fast, wickedly funny, hugely enjoyable.

Sunday Mirror

Morally complex, disturbing and very gripping.

Woman and Home

What starts out to be a chiller turns into a brain-twisting shocker. All rather clever, really.

Sunday Sport

Exciting, chillingly complex ...a delicious dark twist at the end.
