"First-rate writing." --Publishers Weekly "A pacy psychological thriller that makes good use of its London setting." --The Guardian "A promising debut." --The Telegraph "Deftly woven...[with] a cast of really believable and entertaining characters. Both the plot and the writing keep on thoroughly engaged throughtout." --Daily Mail "An utterly brilliant, exhilarating read and I devoured every page. The characters, especially the bold and brave heroine, are touchingly real. Now that I've finished it I feel bereft, the only consolation being that it's the start of an Alice Quentin series and although I have a while to wait, I will get to read more." --Elizabeth Haynes, author of In the Darkest Corner "A very impressive debut. After a powerful opening, Kate's vivid, pacy writing style swept me into the story. Alice is a very strong character, and the well-constructed, complex plot kept me intrigued right up to the end." --Aline Templeton, author of Cradle to Grave "A first novel by the British poet Kate Rhodes, is a fast-moving, entertaining mix of sex, suspense and serial killings." --The Washington Post "An atmospheric, smart, often terrifying read." --Louise Penny, #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Chief Inspector Armand Gache series
