PRAISE FOR THE ON THE EDGE
‘Twisty, layered and simmering with small town intrigue,
ON THE EDGE is a nuanced mystery
that delves deep into the many forms of grief.’
Jane Harper, author of Last One Out and The Dry
‘ON THE EDGE mixes small-town secrets with gripping family drama.
It explores the toll grief takes on a person, and builds a claustrophobic picture
of a seemingly idyllic coastal town. Kate writes family dynamics with
warmth and insight, making this a nuanced, compelling read.’
Vanessa McCausland, author of The Last Illusion of Paige White
‘A taut, immersive mystery
of small-town secrets, friendship, and betrayal
that will linger long after the final page.’
Sarah Barrie, author of Endgame
‘ON THE EDGE is a compelling, multilayered story,
in which Kate Horan skilfully weaves together the past and present narratives
around a young girl's death, exploring the complex dynamics of small communities,
and how some secrets never let go.'
Sara Foster, author of When She Was Gone
