Rezensionen

'[An] intriguing exploration of deceit and duplicity' Guardian

'I devoured this beautifully written, intricately wrought and unique blend of spy thriller and domestic suspense ... The twists keep coming, right down to that chilling last line' Erin Kelly

'A compelling and emotionally resonant mixture of spy thriller and domestic suspense' Daily Telegraph

'An enigmatic and slippery beast, a cool new generation of spy novel. Just as the characters play cat and mouse with one another, so does the author with her readers - it's a guessing game right to the end and I turned the last page with my heart pounding. Recommended' Louise Candlish

'A genre-busting spy novel that amps up the tension and will leave you

trusting no one' Red
