Autorenporträt

Her latest novel, A Wild & True Relation, was described by Dame Hilary Mantel as “a rarity – a novel as remarkable for the vigour of the storytelling as for its literary ambition.

Rezensionen

'Unshackled from the burden of fidelity to Fleming's character, her book feels a lot freer and more spontaneous than the more conventional Bond continuation novels, while still managing to capture something of Fleming's rollicking spirit' Telegraph

'A boldly innovative James Bond novel . . . [Sherwood] rises impressively to all the challenges of the formula - the cliffhangers, the exotic locations, the wry specificity about lifestyle and weaponry brands, the blend of "kiss kiss" and "bang bang" - while adding ideas such as making Q a quantum computer and putting the climate crisis at her remarkable thriller's centre.'
Sunday Times

'I spy ... a brilliant thriller! Double or Nothing is a clever and utterly compelling addition to the Bond canon. Filled with characters so real we feel we know them, the novel races through its surprising plot twists like an Aston Martin in high gear. Get this book and clear your calendar-though it won't be for long; I read it in one sitting' Jeffery Deaver, author of Carte Blanche, a James Bond novel

'A cleverly plotted and absorbing novel with a fantastic cast of fully rounded characters in this breathtaking new novel. I loved it' Lisa Ballantyne, author of The Innocent One

'Stylish, explosive, fresh and fun, Kim Sherwood takes one of the world's most beloved series and makes it her own. Faithful, yet entirely original, Double or Nothing is everything you could want in a spy novel' Chris Whitaker, author of We Begin at the End

'Bang up to date and action-packed, Kim Sherwood has taken the world of James Bond and turned it on its head' Charles Cumming, author of BOX 88

'Blistering, breakneck, brilliant. Sherwood's first Double O novel delivers everything you could want and more from a high-octane, high-stakes spy thriller. The world of Bond is in expert hands' Tim Glister, author of Red Corona
