      ‘A series that gets stronger with every book. Roz Watkins is up there with the best.’ Cass Green, author of The Killer Inside

      ‘I love the acerbic wit of Meg Dalton, and this is a brilliant read. Compelling, beautifully crafted, with murder and twists aplenty.’ Amanda Jennings, author of The Storm

      ‘Intelligent, propulsive and incredibly atmospheric, Cut to the Bone is not only a riveting thriller but a thoughtful portrait of modern society.’ Kia Abdullah, author of Take It Back

      ‘Roz Watkins ups the ante and gives us a rollicking crime adventure laced with plenty of dead bodies, a touch of gothic mystery, dark humour and Meg’s trademark acerbic wit. I loved it. A real page-turner that also gets you thinking.’ Sophie Draper, author of Cuckoo

      ‘A taut, richly atmospheric and original thriller that will keep you glued to your seat. I loved it!’ Jane Isaac, author of For Better, For Worse

      ‘Another ripper from Roz! It’s just gone 7 a.m. and I have had a brief pause for sleep to race through her latest detective thriller. BRILLIANT!’ Suzy K Quinn, author of Not My Daughter

      ‘A heart-in-your-mouth read which made me gasp out loud on more than one occasion! Roz’s best yet.’ Jo Jakeman, author of Safe House

      True to its name, Cut to the Bone has the precision of a surgeon’s scalpel. Each razor-sharp chapter slices deeper. I barely came up for air!’ Jo Furniss, author of All the Little Children

      ‘What a protagonist! A chillingly compelling and utterly twisted plot. Loved it!’ Danielle Ramsay, author of The Last Cut

      ROZ WATKINS is the author of the DI Meg Dalton crime series, which is set in the Peak District where Roz lives with her partner and a menagerie of demanding animals.

      Her first book, The Devil’s Dice, was shortlisted for the CWA Debut Dagger Award, and has been optioned for TV.

      Roz studied engineering at Cambridge University before training in patent law. She was a partner in a firm of patent attorneys in Derby, but this has absolutely nothing to do with there being a dead one in her first novel.

      In her spare time, Roz likes to walk in the Peak District, scouting out murder locations.
