Fingers crossed it doesn't! I've had crises of confidence, but carried on writing through them I think that writing is very much like playing the violin. The more you do it, the better you get.(less)

Isles of Scilly Mysteries

Hi everyone, hope you are all well and reading truck loads of books! This is a quick update on what I've been doing, for the past few years. I'm in the process of finished my seventh ISLES OF SCILLY MYSTERY. The series has been optioned for TV, so I'm hopeful that it will appear on telly, but these things seem to take quite a while, so watch this space. It's been a pleasure researching the series.

Brilliant storytelling from start to finish!

I loved this book! It's a superb example of classic crime writing, with dialogue that always rings true. Mari Hannah is such a classy writer, and her plot in this book is twisty, unpredictable, and very hig

Quotes by Kate Rhodes  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“The Thames is in many respects the river of the dead. It has the power to hurt and to kill.’ Peter Ackroyd, Thames: Sacred River”
Kate Rhodes, The Girl in the River

“Describing a hole in your life doesn't make it vanish, it just makes it deeper than before.”
Kate Rhodes, Hell Bay

“The river had an awful look, the buildings on the banks were muffled in black shrouds, and the reflected lights seemed to originate deep in the water, as if the spectres of suicides were holding them to show where they went down. The wild moon and clouds were as restless as an evil conscience in a tumbled bed, and the very shadow of the immensity of London seemed to lie oppressively upon the water.’ Charles Dickens, Night Walks”
Kate Rhodes, The Girl in the River

“Your mother is holding your hand too tightly. You whimper and cling to her dress, because you know what will happen next. She stares at you, as if she's forgotten how to blink. There's one last glimpse of her face before she bundles you into the cupboard under the stairs. 'Don't make a sound,' she hisses, 'don't even breathe.' Darkness smothers you as the key twists in the lock. There's a chance that he won't find you, cowering on the floor, between the broom and floor mops, a stack of wellington boots.”
Kate Rhodes, Crossbones Yard
