Recenzii

What is remarkable is Hallett's ability to make her characters come alive... combined with her undoubted skill as a plotter, this places Hallett's books in the rare category of rereadable whodunnits
What a treat to be back in a world created by the machiavellian Janice Hallett ... Another cracking mystery from a highly original author
A cunningly wrought puzzle with a nice streak of black humour
There is no one better at drip-feeding information, heightening tension and springing surprises
Janice Hallett, the author of The Appeal and The Twyford Code, is on a roll... [A] quirky, clever tale
I'm agog at the skill with which Hallett uses her unconventional storytelling method, not just in unfolding the plot and springing surprises, but in building up memorable characters. Character and plot, wit and creepiness, are all in perfect balance. It's another resounding success
Undeniably clever and captivating, and delivers a brilliant twist that will delight fans of her previous books
A gripping read, which keeps the reader guessing until the last page
The indefatigable Janice Hallett is back with another ingenious-sounding brain twister
As ever, the author's control of the material is masterly
Hallett's gripping novel dares the reader to beat Amanda to the dark and twisted truth
Sharp humour and playfulness entertainingly coexist
Hallett structures her novels as dossiers of found documents, transcripts and other evidence, leaving the reader to try to find the real story among unreliable narrators' statements. That process appeals to the journalist in me, which might explain why I read about 80 percent of this in a single sitting. It clearly also appeals to a lot of other people
Mind-meltingly complicated, fiendishly well plotted, replete with delicious snark about publishing, clear-eyed and very funny about cold-blooded writerly ambition ... In its assured dexterity and exuberance, it is a bravura performance
God bless Janice Hallett and her especially twisty thrillers that, if you work even a shred of detail out, you feel amazing. Her third novel is brilliant
