Reviews

Dark, with a focus on psychopathy, this is undoubtedly our favourite thriller of 2019. Shiver as Dr August Bloom is drawn into a chilling game with very high stakes. What sets this novel apart is the final reveal, which comes as a genuine shock, and will linger in your mind long after finishing the book.

Woman & Home

Fabulous. Beautifully imagined, beautifully written, immediately immersive, and scary as can be.

Lee Child

One of the best books to buy this Christmas!

If you like a proper, twisty nerve-wracking thriller, here's one for you!

Emma Curtis

With a scorching finale and a psychologist-cum-private detective to savour, this is the one to watch!
