Caroline Carver lives in Bath, England.
'It's one terrifying ordeal after another for the poor girl, right up to the end of this racy and enjoyable read.' -- Susanna Yager SUNDAY TELEGRAPH 'I know you don't read Australian thrillers. Well, bury that prejudice. This is probably the most consistently exciting thriller I've read this year - and by 'consistently' I mean start-to-finish, chapter-by-chapter, don't let-up thrills and excitement... I loved every minute of it.' -- Russell James CRIME TIME 'Plane crashes, car chases, crocodile-infested swamps: this book has it all. A ripping yarn with a conscience. It's great stuff!' GOOD BOOK GUIDE 'Quite the adventuress herself, Caroline Carver writes novels with non-stop action. Poor Georgia! The troubles Caroline invents for her you wouldn't wish on your worst enemy... the action scenes are great. Enjoy. 1/2' -- George Easter DEADLY PLEASURES 'The local colour is strong: landscapes, habitations, sweaty heat , scorching winds, poisonous wildlife vivdly described. The crocodiles are terrifying... Anyone who likes reading breakneck, this is the book for you.' SHERLOCK 'Caroline Carver is a British writer who has already wowed us with her dazzling debut Blood Junction. Now she has followed it with the equally tense page-turner Dead Heat ... Fast-paced and slick, Dead Heat should firmly establish Caroline Carver as a thriller queen. If you want a read to consume you, this is the one to pick, but don't be surprised if you have no nails left by the final pages. ' -- PETERBOROUGH EVENING TELEGRAPH 'Carver's action runs at an excellent pace and she creates a dense atmospheric setting amongst the mangrove groves... Dead Heat makes for tense reading.' -- CITY LIFE (EVERYTHING MANCHESTER) 'The best book I have read this year. Atmospheric, gripping, thrilling, compelling. Read it.' -- Lizzie Hayes MYSTERY WOMEN '[A] gripping thriller' -- DORSET ECHO
