An original and gripping addition to the psychological thriller genre... one of those books that I couldn't stop reading but really wanted to slow down to savour the writing
*Off the Shelf Books*

The two main reasons that I enjoyed this book are its originality which I think sets it apart and the quality of the narrative. This is a highly original and compelling psychological thriller which I thoroughly enjoyed, could not put down and left me thinking about its themes weeks later
