'Stunning ... an extraordinary plot; intricate and twisted with dark secrets emerging at every turn. An engaging mystery with an ending you won't see coming' -- Alexandra Burt 'Atmospheric and beautifully written ... combines complex and believable characters with a heart-breaking and head-spinning plot' -- Mary Torjussen 'Dahl savagely delineates the price of living in a society that insists women must try to be perfect wives and mothers and have successful careers, too, or they'll be inevitably made to feel they're never good enough' * Publishers Weekly (starred review) * 'Unsettling, layered, bold, unpredictable, dark. EXCELLENT' -- Will Dean 'A novel of remarkable accomplishment that sets its nuanced and intriguing characters in the context of a plot that grips like a vice' * Crime Time * 'A riveting psychological thriller' * Excelle magazine * 'Alex Dahl's sharp characterisations make her story feel fresh' * Sunday Express * '[Dahl] adds some twisted black humour and creates a tense narration that will keep readers intrigued and wondering how to approach the main character' * Crime Review * 'A rollicking great read ... [Cecilia] is a fascinating character who lies relentlessly, with reckless abandon, in a desperate bid to protect the big secret she's hiding' * Connaught Telegraph. *
