Ridiculously, disturbingly compelling Observer A gut-wrenching debut...This thriller announces the arrival of a tremendous new talent...It drives the breath from your body with its pace, suspense and enveloping horror...Terrifying and mysterious. Superbly told and achingly sad, this book grabs your heart strings and threatens to tear them out. Daily Mail Perhaps the most cleverly constructed and incendiary thriller I've ever read.
