'Norwegian Fjords and folktales are beautifully evoked in this vivid and compelling novel' Sunday Times bestselling author Rosamund Lupton ' The Nesting is a gorgeous, atmospheric book that chilled me to the bone. The perfect escape book into the deep woods of Norway, where nothing is as it seems. C.J. Cooke just became one of my favorite authors.' - Samantha Downing, Sunday Times bestselling author of My Lovely Wife and He Started It. 'A taut, scary thriller that winds the suspense so tightly you can barely breathe ' New York Times bestselling author Simone St. James 'An original and haunting thriller, filled with secrets, ghosts, and Norse folk tales.

The Nesting is an evocative and chilling tale that will keep you guessing, and is best read with the lights on' Alice Feeney 'It's been such a tonic - chilling , totally engrossing and full of intrigue . The pages just whizzed by while I ignored everyone! It's marvellous' Katherine May 'Nordic folklore, snowy landscapes, and an ever-turning screw of tension - a fun, gothic treat' Kirsty Logan ' The Nesting is at once a taut psychological thriller, an eerie Nordic fable, and a thoughtful meditation on stewardship--not only of children, but of friendship, of truth, and of the natural world we take for granted at our peril. Ms. Cooke tells her story with a spare, elegant prose that betrays a poet's ear, and also a poet's discipline. The language is beautiful , but effortlessly so, pushing the story forward in two deftly handled timelines. The characters are heart-breakingly three-dimensional, yet tell us only what we need to know when we need to know it. This is my favorite kind of book-- a quick read with a long echo ' Christopher Buehlman, author of Those Across the River.
