Eloise has nods to Daphne du Maurier and Emily Brontė in its vividly evoked Cornwall setting and story of a woman haunted in her dreams by the best friend who died of cancer. No vanity project this, Judy deserves to be taken seriously as a writer of thoughtful, descriptive fiction.

Review:
An absorbing, thought-provoking tale of family skeletons, betrayal and the enduring spirit of friendship * Good Book Guide * An assured first novel * Choice magazine * Haunting thriller * Cornwall Today * Having run a wildly successful book club, championing new fiction, it was perhaps inevitable that Judy Finnigan should turn her hand to novel-writing. Eloise has nods to Daphne du Maurier and Emily Bronte in its vividly evoked Cornwall setting and story of a woman haunted in her dreams by the best friend who died of cancer. No vanity project this, Judy deserves to be taken seriously as a writer of thoughtful, descriptive fiction * Choice * [Eloise] has a life of its own thanks to Finnigan's lack of pretension, light touch and obvious passion for the Cornish landscape, which is so lovingly described it's almost a character in its own right. A warm and promising debut * Daily Mail * A creepy ghost story . . . the real star of the book is Judy's beloved Cornwall - a wild beautiful backdrop to the tale that is almost a character in itself * Bella * A great first book from the Queen of the Book Club * Essentials * Impressive debut * Woman & Home * A haunting, pacy page-turner, with a real ghostly feel - a must read * Fabulous Magazine * A moving meditation on grief, family bonds, motherhood and female friendship * Sunday Express * Highly readable, incredibly moving in parts, and with wonderful echoes of Daphne Du Maurier, Eloise had me turning pages late into the night * Dorothy Koomson * Judy Finnigan's gripping debut novel captures the mystery and menace of Cornwall in glorious gothic style * Liz Fenwick * Exudes a deep and soulful sense of place. Romantic and rain-lashed, du Maurier's Cornwall haunts the pages of Eloise as powerfully as the spirit of the elusive heroine herself. A stirring and intriguing read * Louise Candlish * Atmospheric, creepy and original, Judy has written a blinder of a first novel * Sun *
