'A haunting novel about loss and reconciliation, driven by a simple but clever plot' The Sunday Times. 'A clever mystery plot ... its excellence is in the characters, all credible and memorable' Literary Review. 'A wonderfully eerie London setting and a suitably chilling plot ... Lesley Thomson is now firmly established as one of our leading crime writers' Elly Griffiths. 'It cracks along at a nifty pace, throwing surprises up along the way, and builds to a pulsating finale ... a satisfying plot full of twists and turns that keep you eager to discover more' The Moustachioed Reader. 'With hints of the supernatural and several sneaky red herrings laid in your path to trip you up, this sinister and murderous tale gradually creeps under your skin. Jack and Stella are complex individuals, and as far away from your generic detective as you can possibly get' LoveReading. 'The characters are well-defined, and both Stella and Jack would appear to display classic OCD elements, making them excellent candidates for both cleaning and detective work ... addictive story line' Best Selling Crime Thrillers. 'Thomson is a great storyteller, threading her tale with enticing trails and subtle clues. I would highly recommend it if you enjoy reading detective stories with strong characters, plenty of suspense and a challenging mystery to solve' Sixtyplussurfers.
