Critics Review
What a read! I was really drawn into the storyline and expected a very different conclusion to the one I got! Fabulous! So many twists and turns and lies it makes you dizzy trying to keep up.
An impressive and constantly surprising debut…the main plot twist knocks you sideways and there’s more to come. A marvellous, unexpected novel * Time Out *
Compelling…marks the blooding of a major new talent, with shades of Scott Turow * Guardian *
A most assured debut, cleverly plotted with an unguessable ending * Sunday Telegraph *
