Taut, tense and brilliantly gripping
I absolutely loved it. An intriguing and atmospheric exploration of deaths which have haunted three families for years, and the violent dark secrets which have long since been forgotten. Brilliant!
The most atmospheric first chapter I've ever read . . . very accomplished indeed
There is a cool directness about Savage's writing that is making her name in a very competitive field . . . hooks her readers and keeps them dangling till the very last page
A beautifully told tale of family secrets . . . highly recommended
This atmospheric thriller weaves an intricate plot that keeps you guessing
Spine-chilling
A dark and thoroughly compulsive tale. At once a page turning thriller and an exploration of the tumultuous yet inextricable ties between sisters. A definite 'up all nighter!'
