This is exactly what we love to read - readers meeting a new author and their books and LOVING them!

'My first Kate Rhodes, but definitely not my last!'

Whether it's your 1st or 8th
@katerhodes.bsky.social read, pick up #DeadmansPool today: geni.us/jzgGb1

#CrimeFiction

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

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

SUCH an exciting signing!

'Kate Rhodes is an exciting new signing to Orenda Books, where her Isles of Scilly mysteries, featuring DI Ben Kitto, have found a new home with book eight, Deadman's Pool. '

#DeadmansPool is out now: geni.us/jzgGb1

A pleasure. It was gripping! x
