Thank you so much SG Hartnell and @littlebrown.bsky.social for sharing MEDLOCK - a bold & clever reimagining of The Secret Garden, taking the bones of a classic and conjuring something entirely wild and horrifying and new - a totally gripping slice of contemporary gothic! 🙌😱🗝️

This has kept me company on the train this week — loved it! Tense, clever, filled with wry observations and claw-sharp plotting — and gorgeous writing. Sevenoaks has never felt so seductively dangerous! Can’t wait to see where @kitconwayauthor.bsky.social goes next… 🔥😻🙌 #CatFight

Oh how I loved this!! Sharp, searching, PERFECTLY constructed - filled with wit, wrong turns, pitch perfect characterisation, pulling on the darker threads of 1797 too. @jessicabull.bsky.social writes with such skill and empathy and verve - Austen would love this series, and so do I!🙌📚
