The dead are never far away. Catherine knows that the face she glimpsed in a crowd can’t be her dear friend Hugh because he’s dead. Kenneth is more concerned about someone who might still turn up one day, while Helen hopes that Joe, who certainly isn’t dead, will come back. All three are waiting for the message that will free them.

‘Suspenseful and intriguing, this novel about two sisters who move on from boring first husbands to sexy second ones, offers many insights into the stages of love and loss.’

‘A brilliant book, full of poignant observation and vivid characters that stay with you long after the final page.’

‘A Message From The Other Side is an intelligently written work of literary fiction which kept me engaged throughout.’

‘A novel about love and marriage on one side and hate and revenge on the other. The author highlights the damage people can do to each other in a suspenseful novel that swings the emotions to and fro.’

‘An engrossing story, set in London and the Scottish Highlands. Convincing characters I cared about, and an often poignant portrayal of how emotional connection can miss by an inch not a mile.’
