Reviews / Votes
Really great suspense novel. Kept me up most of the night. The alcoholic narrator is dead perfect. * STEPHEN KING * The thriller scene will have to up its game if it's to match Hawkins this year * Observer * A complex and increasingly chilling tale courtesy of a number of first-person narratives that will wrong-foot even the most experienced of crime fiction readers * Irish Times * achieves a sinister poetry . . . Hawkins keeps the nastiest twist for last * Financial Times * Hawkins' masterful deployment of unwittingly unreliable narration to evoke the aftershocks of abuse and trauma is a powerful way of exploring women's marginalization * Huffington Post *More details
