Quotes
“A truly compelling piece of work. [Ewan] utilizes the more sinister aspects of Manx folklore, forging from it a truly atmospheric thriller that is impossible to put down. If Ewan chooses never to go back to his lighter Good Thief’s Guide series and continues to produce novels like Dark Tides, readers will have little cause to complain.” Daily Express (London)
“The novel’s formula is clever and well executed and Ewan’s portrayal of the island duly atmospheric.” Times (London)
“ The remote island setting—‘eighty thousand people, clinging to a rock thirty-two miles long by fourteen miles wide in the middle of the Irish Sea’—gives it a touch of The Wicker Man…Ewan skilfully avoids potential mantraps of melodrama or gore to deliver a truly chilling and thoroughly enjoyable read.” Observer (London)
“A dark and tragic tale, sinister and foreboding.” RT Book Reviews (4 stars)
“An engrossing story of revenge, remorse, and one young woman’s ongoing search for the truth.” Library Journal
“In a chilling page-turner that spans twenty years, Ewan explores the darker side of Manx folklore.” Booklist
“Solid, brooding suspense with a whodunit chaser.” Kirkus Reviews
