Critics Review
“In this dark and twisted thriller, nothing is what it seems; but Pollock’s greatest triumph is the portrait of a psyche at war with itself.” * The Guardian *
“This novel has been compared to The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time, but it is unlike anything else you have read… This book does more than a synopsis can suggest: it is revelatory about mental health, ingeniously constructed and a thrilling ride for sophisticated readers.” * Children’s Book of the Week in The Sunday Times *
“The web of deception grows more tangled with each page.” * The Daily Mail *
Dazzling. It’s as though Escher and Schrödinger had collaborated on a thriller. * M. R. Carey, author of The Girl With All The Gifts *
“A gripping and gloriously treacherous thriller without guide ropes or safety nets. Leave all certainties by the door.” * Frances Hardinge, Costa-award-winning author of The Lie Tree *
