Description
"A stinging tale of old friendship turned deadly. By turns glamorous, devious and decidedly dark, Tiny Daggers is a twisty delight."-Alex Michaelides, author of The Silent Patient
"An absolutely essential book for everyone's summer reading list."-Katy Brent, author of How to Kill Men and Get Away With It
The most dangerous predators in Miami don't bite. They brunch.
Expat Holly Jones has built the perfect life for herself in an exclusive area of Miami: the beautiful house, the enviable family. So the last person she expects to bump into one morning is a ghost from her old life in London, someone she hasn't seen in over twenty years: the other Holly, Holly Wild.
Single, sexy, and a world away from the frumpy sidekick she was at school, Holly Wild quickly becomes an unavoidable part of Holly Jones's life.

As the oppressive heat intensifies, Holly Jones is haunted by memories she's spent decades trying to bury. Is she being paranoid or is Holly Wild really out to steal her life? At school they were known as Good Holly and Bad Holly...but as their twisted game of cat and mouse escalates, it's no longer clear which one is which...

Reviews / Votes
'Fiendishly clever with endless twists which I (genuinely) did not see coming...I loved this smart, glamorous, dark tale of toxic friendship, marred pasts, terrible choices, and nasty outcomes.' -Niki Mackay, author of The Due Date'As vivid and colourful as a Miami beach cocktail...A superbly crafted book that will keep you re-evaluating every character in it right until the last page. Brilliant stuff.' -Rob Burnett, author of Whiteout
'A stinging tale of old friendship turned deadly. By turns glamorous, devious, and decidedly dark, Tiny Daggers is a twisty delight.' -Alex Michaelides, author of The Silent Patient
'I loved it...I didn't see the twists! It's brilliant.' -Ruth Kelly
'Caroline's best yet and the bar is high! It was deliciously twisty; the dark and light are so brilliantly balanced and it's absolutely addictive. The characters are so human and well-drawn and rounded. I loved it so so so much.' -Daisy Buchanan
'The opening of the book alone is attention grabbing and beautifully styled. Caroline Corcoran's skill at building up atmosphere and creating layered characters is enviable.' -Chris Bridges
'Made to be enjoyed over languid cocktails by the pool, Tiny Daggers is the perfect combo of holiday read and twisting thriller...Channelling some of the best female-led thrillers ever written (think Daphne Du Maurier's Rebecca meets Gone Girl), just when you think you've got the story figured, it totally blindsides you. Then does it again...' -Francesca Brown, Books Editor at Stylist Magazine
'The sultry seductions of Miami drip from the page as ex-pat Brits battle for supremacy and survival. I loved this cool, compulsive page-turner.' -Louise Candlish
