Reviews / Votes
'A deliciously dark read, Katerina Diamond keeps her readers guessing throughout as she leads us on a very secretive, VERY twisted journey...everything I was expecting from a well-written, pacy thriller.'

'Another grim and gory spider's web from Katerina Diamond - closely following on from The Teacher and not letting up on the twists and turns.' Goodreads reviewer
