This is an atmospheric and beautifully charged story, which moves between time frames and locations to ratchet up the building tension. The author evokes the Mallorcan landscape beautifully throughout. Digging deep into mysticism, The Secret Wound explores notions of connections, intimacy and power and asks questions about the nature of home. Highly recommended. A great summer read! - Rachel O'Connor

Deirdre Quiery's follow up to the critical success of Eden Burning, The Secret Wound draws the reader into a complex web of relationships within the ex-pat community in Mallorca, discovering their dangerous secrets...and a potential murderer in their midst.

One of their number carries a dark and deadly secret from their past, and has murderous plans for a fellow ex-pat. Can any of the close- knit community discover the brutal plans before they are all put in mortal danger?

Deirdre Quiery's gripping thriller is not just an addictive page turner, but provides a compelling exploration of human emotion and desires, and the terrible costs of jealousy and ambition. Perfect for fans of Jane Corry and Amanda Brooke.
