Tideline is a 2012 suspense thriller by the British author Penny Hancock.
Synopsis
[edit]The book is set in Greenwich, by the River Thames in London. The book details how the main character, Sonia, opens the door of her house to see a nephew of a family friend, Jez, and how she invites him in and decides she must keep him. The plot is intertwined in deep personal revelations about Sonia's past.
Reception
[edit]The book was praised by S. J. Watson as "Brilliantly written and totally gripping...It's such a thrill to read a book as deliciously dark and richly evocative as Tideline. From the first page to its shocking finale it draws you into its world and won't let go".[1] It was also praised by Marie Claire[2] and Laura Wilson in The Guardian who described the book as a "creepy, well-written debut", praising the portrayal of Sonia but describing the portrayal of Jez as less successful.[3] The book was also featured on the Richard & Judy bookclub.[4]
