'An absolutely gripping thriller! My first foray into the world of DI Kelly Porter, but certainly not my last. This is a clever, complex novel that kept me guessing right up until the end. Rachel Lynch is a master story-teller. I was gripped not just by the plot but also by the perfectly drawn characters, all with their own unique stories. I loved this book, and I can't wait to read more in the series.'
