Critics Review
Evocative and haunting , with a subtle sense of menace that grows with each page
Evocative and haunting, with a subtle sense of menace that grows with each page – Simon Beckett, author of The Chemistry of Death
An impressive debut novel…Theorin’s excellence in conveying bleak atmosphere is matched by his insight into sensitive family relationships * THE TIMES *
Fantastic… Theorin’s prose is wonderfully descriptive * GUARDIAN *
There is warmth in Theorin’s narrative and the gradual piecing together of the story leads to an unexpected denouement * SUNDAY TELEGRAPH *
Sheer storytelling grip such as this is relatively rare. A particular strength is the evocation of locale and atmosphere here; it is masterfully done * THE GOOD BOOK GUIDE *
