Always a pleasure! x

WOW!

'fantastic read, that kept me firmly on the edge of my seat. The plot is devilishly clever, with just the right amount of mystery, action, and emotion - and it is packed with the kind of thought-provoking themes I have come to expect from an author of Sultoon's calibre.'

100% THIS!

'I loved how Sultoon makes this fit so well with the story elements around the paranoia that gripped the world around the impact of the Millennium Bug - which I remember well. It was wonderful to see Jonny and Paloma working together once again too.'

#Blackwater

OH MY!

'A slow-burn mystery develops into fast-paced action tale, in Sultoon's characteristic style, with lashings of 'bait-and-switch' twists, hinging on sins of the past and a conspiracy of silence that draws on some very uncomfortable history...'

OH WOW!

'It is easy to see why this book was the winner of the Ngaio Marsh Best First Novel, because it positively effervesces with nostalgia, style, wit, ridiculous characters, slapstick comedy, and a cracking good plot.'

LOVE this review of #TheNancys so much!

LOVE THIS REVIEW!

'The chaotic arrival of Pike and Devon, with their decidedly un-politically correct banter, sparks mayhem, and their outrageous shenanigans lead Tippy into perilous places. But fortunately, Tippy is not your average pre-teen - she has the sound advice of Nancy Drew to guide her!'

'In a hilarious twist on the Nancy Drew mysteries, this small town detective tale unfurls through eleven-year-old Tippy's narrative. McDonald does a fantastic job making her voice authentic for an innocent young girl trying to make sense of the world around her...'

#TheNancys

This trio!

'Pike and Devon are unconventional childminders, to say the least, even if their hearts are in the right place. When Tippy's teacher is found murdered, Pike and Tippy decide to emulate their literary heroine, Nancy Drew, to see if they can crack the case.'

#TheNancys is out NOW!

It's time to meet #TheNancys!

'Eleven year old Tippy Chan lives in a small town in rural New Zealand, where nothing much happens - unless you count the recent death of her father. When her mum wins a Christmas cruise, Tippy's Uncle Pike steps in to look after her while his sister is away...'
