Praise for Kelley Armstrong
“Armstrong is a talented and evocative writer who knows well how to balance the elements of good, suspenseful fiction, and her stories evoke poignancy, action, humor and suspense.”
The Globe and Mail
“[A] master of crime thrillers.”
Kirkus
“Kelley Armstrong is one of the purest storytellers Canada has produced in a long while.”
National Post
“Armstrong is a talented and original writer whose inventiveness and sense of the bizarre is arresting.”
London Free Press
“Kelley Armstrong has long been a favorite of mine.”
Charlaine Harris
“Armstrong’s name is synonymous with great storytelling.”
Suspense Magazine
“Like Stephen King, who manages an under-the-covers, flashlight-in-face kind of storytelling without sounding ridiculous, Armstrong not only writes interesting page-turners, she has also achieved that unlikely goal, what all writers strive for: a genre of her own.”

About the Author
Author’s Note
The events of A Turn of the Tide center on a fishing village in North Yorkshire called Hood’s Bay. The setting is inspired by Robin Hood’s Bay, with its rich smuggling history and rumored subterranean tunnels. However, I was uncomfortable imposing a fictional history on a real small town, so I used Hood’s Bay as the name instead, and my town and its history—and its people—are entirely fictional.
