'A beautifully written story of family secrets, dangerous obsessions, and the unsolved mysteries that can haunt a small town for years. With her well-rounded characters, breakneck pacing, and emotional depth, Ashley Tate is a new thriller writer to watch’

‘A great read! Twenty-Seven Minutes vividly brings to life the long-term impact of grief and loss alongside an intriguing mystery. Well-paced with a satisfying ending and unexpected twist, I found it unputdownable.’
PATRICIA WOLF

‘I was completely transfixed by Twenty-Seven Minutes, a taut, raw, powerful suspense that centers around a decade-old tragedy that's traumatized a community. Every character carries both a darkness and moments of goodness inside them as they grapple with their own memories and secrets of the night that took one of their own. Ashley Tate has written a masterful collision course of pain, sorrow, and grief that sliced open my veins and tore out my heart.’
