A devastating and unsettling story of a powerful and unshakeable twin bond
Gayle writes her books from an old chapel in Norfolk where she lives with her husband, Christopher. She draws inspiration from abandoned buildings, the sea and very strange people.
The psychological bonds that bind twins and families are finely
dissected by Curtis in this horribly absorbing tale that uses the
most innocent domestic details to paint an intimately disturbing
nightmare. Replete with menace and emotional parasitism, Too Close
cleverly exploits the anxiety of motherhood to snare its
readers
*Anthony J. Quinn, author of Disappeared*
The ending is incredible. It really picks up pace with a menacing
crescendo. Events and characters begin to spiral out of control as
the purpose of the characters becomes clear and more twists are
revealed. The reader watches helplessly as characters hurtle toward
their inevitable fates. It was chilling and powerful. It is an
ending that makes a lasting impression on the reader, leaving them
reeling. It is a great story about siblings who just become "too
close"'
*Bibliomaniac UK Blog*
This is a tense and gripping psychological thriller (...) It's full
of twists and turns, and the secrets come tumbling out by the end

*Liverpool Evening Post Group*
This was an incredibly creepy and dark book right from the first
page, with such a powerful sense of foreboding throughout. Nearly
every character was so intense that I expected there to be a
traumatic scene on every page
*Secret Library*
'I would recommend this book to anyone who likes a bit of crime,
mystery, psychological thriller sort of thing, because I feel that
this book would make a great talking point - just to see if anyone
else is left feeling like I am feeling right now.'
