It’s my spot on the book tour for The Clinic by Sally-Anne Martyn. Thanks to Zooloo’s Book Tours and Joffe Books for the invitation and the ARC of the book.
This taut, dark thriller is perfect for fans of One of the Girls, Nine Perfect Strangers, Sarah Pearse, T.J. Brearton, Sue Watson, Alice Feeney, Caroline Macon Fleischer and Susanna Beard.
Would you go to a beauty clinic that promises to transform your life? If you’re prepared to put the work in.
It seems like the opportunity of a lifetime. An all-inclusive stay at a top-of-the-line wellness retreat for a month of pampering and luxury. Not just anyone gets in. Guests are hand selected.
They promise big results: a total transformation.
All you have to do is take a few pills every day. Join in the activities. Make some new friends.
But then you start to lose track of time. The meals get smaller. Everything is taken away from you.
And the guests start disappearing . . . Will you be next
The Beautiful You Clinic. A place that women are falling over themselves to be able to attend. Six women are chosen to attend the Clinic to take part in their programme of beauty treatments and exercise. It sounds like heaven and Dr Cavendish is determined to make every single woman’s dream become reality, but just how far will she go to achieve this?
An ex-asylum, the Clinic seems to be perfect, too perfect for me anyway. Everything about the Clinic made me want to shout at every single woman to not be so stupid and get out. This storyline was packed with a dark, twisted atmosphere that has mystery pouring from the pages. So much suspense too!
Told from the multiple perspectives of Dr Cavendish and Jenny, a woman there for more than the treatments. As the story develops and we learn exactly what both characters’ motivations are, everything gets so much darker and crazy.
The character development is great too, which adds another layer to this novel that keeps you on your toes. There are plenty of twists and turns that don’t stop until the final page.
Another book that I didn’t want to put down. Sally-Anne Martyn may be a new author to me but she has sparked my interest in her work. The Clinic is one heck of a rollercoaster ride that I didn’t want to get off. A dark twisty, spine-tingling psychological thriller that I recommend to psychological thriller readers out there.

Author Bio
Sally-Anne grew up near Sheffield, in the north of England. She has worked as a writer, film and television extra and formerly as an auxiliary nurse, including a spell working in one of the last Victorian asylums in England.
As a child she loved Hammer House and Tales of the Unexpected, so unsurprisingly her books lean towards the darker side. She writes female led thrillers, inspired by the working-class women she grew up with.
She has written for international print and digital publications and won an ITV initiative for her short film script, ‘Freak Show.’
