Reviews for Follow the Butterfly

'An exciting, pacy page turner. I loved the smoke and mirrors atmosphere, overlain with a sense of poignancy about damaged lives, the power of the imagination to trick us (and to protect us), and the passage of time' - Ali Knight, author of Before I Find You 'Original, intelligent and intriguing - I gulped it down in two sittings' - Andrea Mara 'The truth is revealed little by little, the pieces of the puzzle coming together' - Kotiliesi 'Highly original and flawlessly executed... An utterly compelling, gripping read with an explosive conclusion' - Danielle Ramsay, author of The Perfect Husband 'Breathlessly plotted, deviously constructed, and brought to vivid, twisted life by an antiheroine for the ages... An utterly beguiling debut. This isn't just a thriller you sink your teeth into-it's a thriller that sinks its teeth right back into you' -
