The twisty, turny thriller set in a beautiful French chateau from the Sunday Times bestselling author

Reviews

‘Storm [is] another literary thriller of the highest quality . . . blistering, brilliantly placed and intricately plotted: the perfect poolside read’ The Observer
“Among recent thrillers, Stephanie Merritt’s Storm stands out. A charismatic, ultimately demonic young woman named Storm infiltrates a reunion of friends on holiday in France. She is bent on revenge for historical, deeply buried wrongs. The interplay among the old friends – their attachments, their resentments – is distinctive and nicely set against the disruptive newcomer. The pace is beautifully varied … A first-rate read by a very skilled writer.” The Spectator
‘[Storm] is about fascinatingly AWFUL rich people getting their comeuppance at the hands of a young woman called Storm, a GREAT character. Full of twists, turns and moving, realistic reveals’ Marian Keyes, author of Again, Rachel
‘A lavishly entertaining thriller…that exceedingly rare thriller that’s both sophisticated and almost giddily fun’ A. J. Finn, author of The Woman in the Window
'A clever, twisty, and deliciously dark thriller set in the entitled and dangerously alluring world of the one per cent. STORM is a whirlwind of a tale showing how easily and devastatingly one person's life can tear through another's, and the lengths some will go to in order to avoid the consequences of their actions. I read it in one sitting’ Charlotte Philby, author of A Double Life
‘An absolute corker. I read it in two days straight because I couldn’t put it down’ Jane Fallon, author of Worst Idea Ever
‘Like its principal character, Storm is timely, powerful and seductive’ Christopher Brookmyre
‘A fast-paced, addictive tale’ Sunday Times
‘A deliciously twisty tale of revenge among the very rich’ – Woman's Own
‘A superior morality tale that aims to skewer privilege… it is consistently entertaining and distinguished by characterisation more thoughtful than usual in the genre’ The Times
