Surprise, of course, is the most potent aspect of suspense. And Belinda Bauer knows exactly how to manipulate that element, right until the very end. What's more, she's shown, not just how to keep surprise bubbling explosively away, but to do it with extraordinary dexterity, maturity and feeling

- HENRY SUTTON, Daily Mirror

Independent

Compelling... Bauer blends a psychological crime story with a darkly humorous narrative... I can't wait for the next one!
