Evocative and haunting, with a subtle sense of menace that grows with each page -- Simon Beckett, author of The Chemistry of Death An impressive debut novel...Theorin's excellence in conveying bleak atmosphere is matched by his insight into sensitive family relationships * THE TIMES * Fantastic... Theorin's prose is wonderfully descriptive * GUARDIAN * There is warmth in Theorin's narrative and the gradual piecing together of the story leads to an unexpected denouement * SUNDAY TELEGRAPH * Sheer storytelling grip such as this is relatively rare. A particular strength is the evocation of locale and atmosphere here; it is masterfully done * THE GOOD BOOK GUIDE *
