`An intriguing psychological thriller with a strong emotional punch.' * <i>Daily Mail</i> * 'A wonderfully atmospheric debut.' * <i>Mail on Sunday</i> * `A complex and multi-layered psychological thriller, imbued with humanity, with some lush writing, this is a slow burn tale that provides much in the way of rewards if you stick to its studied pace.' * <i>Crimetime</i> * 'Serious, atmospheric, a writer of considerable power.' * Patricia Duncker, author of <i>Hallucinating Foucault</i> * 'Beautifully written and achingly romantic, this dazzling gothic-tinged thriller takes us deep into a labyrinth of secrets, lies, and deceptions. It's a stunning debut!' * Dan Chaon, <i>New York Times</i> bestselling author of <i>Ill Will</i> * `Elegant, elegiac, enigmatic.' * Matthew Pearl, author of <i>The Last Bookaneer</i> * 'A cryptic, beguiling puzzle-box of a book...a mesmeric exploration of guilt in the vein of Vertigo or The Secret History, with the frantic nightmare-logic of a thriller.' * David Gilbert, author of <i>& Sons</i> *
