''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 was 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 cafes, market towns and lazy lunches at a house share (with a pool, of course) in the South of France. After so many years without such a getaway insight, I felt I was more transported with each page.'' Melanie Garrett, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
''Sabine Durrant never disappoints and her new novel SUN DAMAGE is excellent, with an atmospheric setting, believable characters and twisty plot. I found the little observations about human nature quite fascinating, almost like surreptitious people watching.'' Lovebooks, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐<
