Recenzii

[A] compelling psychological thriller- a terrifyingly plausible story of how everyday failures of empathy, compassion and, most of all, trust, can have fatal consequences.
[an] elegantly creepy skin-crawler
Hatch's promising debut is a short, sharp shocker that keeps you guessing to the end
An intense, oppressive debut, with its dark climax sudden and shocking in its plausibility
An emotionally raw and compulsively readable psychological thriller. A powerful tale of obsessive love and stealthy betrayal, full of twists that jolt you right up to the end.
AS Hatch's first-rate debut is a spare, elegantly written chiller in the true Highsmithian register. Daniel, our damaged, diffident carpenter protagonist, having served a long prison sentence, retraces the steps that led him to captivity, charting his unhappy childless relationship and gradual drift into chaos. The plot is as well turned as the cabinets Daniel makes, the narration is unreliably delirious and there's an inspired use of Brexit, first as an unearthly chill across the land in the referendum's immediate aftermath and then as a frenzied, Brueghelian street party in a seaside town, a fittingly grotesque backdrop to the novel's unsettling progress.
Carries the reader along with a sense of foreboding, with a shocking twist at the end.
A breathless page-turner with gathering tension throughout.
Full of palpable unease and tension creeping down every page. I inhaled this book! I could not put it down!
[A] dark, well-told, twisting psychological tale
