Readers love Sabine Durrant:

"I've read all of this author's books and enjoyed them. Thank you, Sabine Durrant, for a great read." - meggies mum, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

"Oh, I adored this novel, I raced through it in a day and bit. I was enraptured, and it's definitely a winner." - Lolly130612, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

"Could not put this down. Brilliant lead characters and such a clever plot. I love this author, and this is my favourite so far - sunshine and suspense - a winning combination!" - Booklover, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

"This is a perfect holiday read set in a Villa in the South of France! Sabine Durrant's characters always have something to hide, and those in SUN DAMAGE are no exception to this." - Annette C, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

"I always look forward to a new book from this talented author, and SUN DAMAGE lived up to every expectation. It was my final read during my recent holiday in Corfu, and the descriptions of the searing heat of the French setting were exquisitely done, especially as the temperatures in Greece soared that week too." - Lincs Reader, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

"SUN DAMAGE is the perfect holiday read, not least because of how it is set against the languid backdrop of beaches and cafés, market towns and lazy lunches at a house share (with a pool, of course) in the South of France. After so much uncertainty and isolation, it was a joy to immerse myself in this story and escape into the world of the villa and its inhabitants. The characters were well-developed, with their flaws and strengths making them relatable and compelling. The plot was intricate, with plenty of twists and turns to keep me engaged until the very end. I particularly enjoyed the way the author brought the setting to life, with vivid descriptions of the scenery, the food, and the culture. Overall, SUN DAMAGE is a fantastic read that I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a captivating and entertaining holiday story."
