Tom MeadPRAISE FOR THE AUTHORThe only novel I have read that made my ears tingle. - The TimesMajor has a special skill of weaving his characters inner turmoils into the perils they face in the plot. - Morning StarRefreshingly out of the ordinary. - Sunday SportTim Major is an exceptional writer - Adam RobertsHolmes fans will be more than satisfied with this well-constructed homage to the great detective. - Criminal ElementA fine addition to Holmes stories and should make a great brain teaser of a read! - RunAlongTheShelvesFans of traditional Holmes stories should welcome a sequel. -Publishers WeeklyHope Island is a masterfully tense tale, building a looming sense of dread and growing uncertainty. Disturbing and original, surprising and shocking, its an excellent novel from a unique voice in the genre. -Tim Lebbon, author of Eden and The SilenceHope Island is a deliciously creepy mystery. Tim Major knows how to wield the weird and the effect is an original novel thats unsettling and compelling at every turn. The silent children who stalk the island are a disturbing threat outside, and the threat within the family offers a richly-realised emotional disquiet. Prepare to be unnerved. -D. K. Fields, author of Widows Welcome and The Stitcher and the MuteTense and compelling, the taut and tangled mysteries of eerie Hope Island conspire to create a roiling fever dream of a novel in which nothing is certain, and in which even ones own senses cannot truly be trusted. Beneath an authentic and empathetic portrait of a family falling apart lies a deeply intuitive, atmospheric enquiry into those truths which underpin all human relationships: the way we speak and listen, the things we say and the things we hide. Hope Island is a strange and brilliantly original novel which cements Tim Majors rightful reputation as a top class writer of fantastical fiction. - Laura Mauro, author of Sing Your Sadness DeepArtfully written and brilliantly controlled from the first page, Hope Island explores unsettling territory through well-drawn characters, landscape and a powerful use of sound. But its the central mother-daughter relationship that gives the book real heart - theres honesty, pain and beauty in here. - M. T.
