"The Ice Twins has grip, pace and bags of atmosphere... It also has
one of the cleverest endings of recent thrillers."--Sunday Times
(UK)
"'The Ice Twins' is by turns a thriller, a mystery and a ghost
story. Tremayne, the pseudonym for a London journalist and
best-selling novelist, melds all these ingredients, coming up with
enough twists, insights and chilly moments to make the story his -
or her? - own and to keep a hungry reader savoring every spoonful.
. . . A story set on an island known informally as Thunder deserves
a thundering finish, which Tremayne deftly serves up, along with a
touching coda that would play well on film."--Washington Post
"A knife-sharp debut thriller . . . Gripping, sad and desperately
poignant, this is a debut to die for."--The Daily Mail (UK)
"A tense psychological thriller that builds with every page."--The
Sunday Post (UK)
"Beautiful paced, teeming with psychological shivers, The Ice Twins
is a notable debut."--The Times (UK)
"Chilling and utterly compulsive . . . As the action plays out in
the claustrophobic confines of the cold, creepy island, it builds
to an incredibly tense and shiver inducing conclusion."--The Sunday
Mirror (UK)
"Richly evocative and profoundly eerie, The Ice Twins is a
mesmerizing story of grief, loss and betrayal set against a
backdrop that's as beautiful as it is haunted, just like the tragic
family at the story's center."--Kimberly McCreight, New York Times
bestselling author of Reconstructing Amelia
"Strange and moving.... complex and dramatic... The advantages and
hardships of island life are well depicted and the Gothic old is
suitably creepy."--Sunday Herald (UK)
"Stunning."--The Mail on Sunday (UK)
"The chilling story of the death of one identical twin sister and
the effect that it has on her family. . . . Filled with secrets and
lies, this gripping psychological thriller will keep readers
absorbed until the final page."--Library Journal
"The death of one of the twin daughters of Sarah and Angus
Moorcroft jump-starts this superb tale...Tremayne effectively
delivers a psychological gothic thriller with supernatural
overtones while avoiding clichés. Grief's debilitating effects on
children and adults further elevate this gripping
story."--Publishers Weekly (starred review)
"The family Moorcroft has taken up residence in a remote corner of
Scotland not unlike The Shining's isolated Colorado mountains. It's
a suitably eerie setting for the haunting incidents that transpire
after one of the family's 6-year-old identical twins falls to her
death."--O Magazine, "The Season's Best Mysteries and
Thrillers"
"The next Gone Girl . . . [An] eerie literary
spine-chiller."--Sunday Times Travel Magazine (U.K.)

until events reach their climax in the midst of a violent
storm."--Library Journal
"Unbearably gripping and suspenseful."--Sophie Hannah,
internationally bestselling author of The Wrong Mother and The Dead
Lie Down
"Very eerie."--Marie Claire (UK)
"Will have you binge-reading to the end."--Redbook
"With its creepy premise and bleak but beautiful settings, S. K.
Tremayne has created a haunting, powerful thriller."--Paula Daly,
author of Just What Kind of Mother Are You?
