Recenzii

A tense, unsettling and emotionally engaging whydunnit that grips from the first page
Gritty, tense, superbly plotted and the run up to the end left me breathless and a bit of an emotional wreck. It's really good
A complete triumph. An intelligent and deeply satisfying thriller with such vivid characters it's impossible to believe they aren't real
Superb. A rare combination of stunning twists and exceptional prose makes it the perfect read
'Layer upon layer of secrets, making for a perfectly paced page-turner. Past and present are woven together beautifully, and all tied up in an ending that I genuinely did not see coming'
'Immersive and compelling, authentic and raw'
'It has everything you want from a novel - the grimy realism of the best crime, and the perfectly executed twists of the best psychological thrillers'
'Assured, gripping and with a twist I did not see coming... fantastic'
'A mesmerising tale of justice and redemption which will have you spellbound. Simants displays a poetic eye for detail which will quickly establish her as one of the rising stars of crime fiction'
