The Sculptress
'It was a slaughterhouse, the most horrific scene I have ever
witnessed...Olive Martin is a dangerous woman.'
Rosalind Leigh has no idea what awaits her inside the prison walls. As
a journalist, she knows all about the case, of course. How Olive Martin
had been found, five years earlier, cradling the bodies of her dead mother
and younger sister; how she had pleaded guilty to both murder charges
at the time of the trial; why she had been nicknamed 'The Sculptress'...
Despite Olive's protestations of guilt, however, Roz is convinced that
she is hiding something - even perhaps her innocence. So who is Olive
protecting, and why?
As Roz battles to come to terms with her own private tragedy, her determination
to uncover the truth becomes an all-consuming obsession. Then she meets
Hal Hawksley - Olive's arresting officer - and her confusion deepens...
Only one thing is certain. Roz will never forget the day she first met
Olive Martin. It is an encounter destined to change her life. For ever.

'Crime choice of
the year is THE SCULPTRESS. An awesomely accomplished second
novel which centres on a grotesque, female multiple murderer
or does it? The plot twists and grips, like an octopus'
