ReviewsWhatever genre she's working in, Pinborough is well worth keeping an eye on - SFX Pinborough really knows how to drag the reader into her books. Tightly written, tightly plotted and highly entertaining Few writers blend mystery and the supernatural as well as Sarah Pinborough, but there are none who do it better. Quite, quite brilliant Pinborough's stories have resonance. She understands how people tick. I always trust the ride, because I know I'll wind up someplace good THE DEATH HOUSE is a dazzlingly emotional account of growing up, death and bits in between, and an early contender for the book of the year - City of Stairs
