‘A dark and startling tale of righteous vengeance’
Val McDermid
As the hit drama Adolescence continues to dominate much of the national conversation, our next book could hardly be more timely: a remarkable thriller about teenage mental health written by a debut author who doubles as a school therapist.
Told through the eyes of a school counsellor in Scotland, Words Fail Me is a gripping page-turner with a compelling mystery at its core and a hair-raising climax. Set largely in the therapist’s office, it also offers an eye-opening insight into the burdens borne by today’s adolescents – with most of the problems rooted in misogyny.
The novel comes with stellar endorsements from the cream of Scottish crime writers. Val McDermid calls it a dark and startling read. Ian Rankin says it’s fascinating, complex and timely. And Marisa Haetzman, the co-writer of the Ambrose Parry novels, says: ‘What a remarkable book: beautifully written, full of insight, compassion, wisdom and righteous anger.’
