March 2014 Debut of the Month.
Despite borrowing both plot and inspiration from the Classics, The Amber Fury remains an easy, accessible read. Escaping the sudden and cruel loss of her fiancé, Alex moves from London to start a new life in Edinburgh, but she can’t resist the pull of the past and unbeknownst to her, her pupils (and one in particular) become entangled in a further tragedy of Greek proportions. A psychological teaser which combines both menace and tension in equal measures.
