‘[Jinks] is a masterful storyteller, able to easily carry the narrative exigences of plot and character regardless of genre…[she] knows how to dole out the tension, letting the suspense slacken and then ramping up the terror lest you become complacent for a few minutes.’ * Guardian on Shelter * ‘Catherine Jinks cements herself as a must-read Aussie crime writer with this book. It’s atmospheric and hard-hitting; if you’re a fan of Australian crime thrillers, don’t miss this.’ * Australian on The Attack * ‘A tense thriller…[with a] brutal and terrifying climax…Jinks can certainly tell a good story.’ * Canberra Times on The Attack * ‘Jinks tells a great story that holds the reader’s close attention on every page…This well-constructed and pacey narrative explores serious issues while maintaining spare and tight language, gritty circumstances, authentic dialogue and a building climax that will keep you on the edge of your seat.’ * Cass Moriarty, author of The Promise Seed and Parting Words * ‘The fear is palpable and crawls off the page, so the reader can feel it too...This is a book that needs to be read with the lights on, and one that you will be unwilling to put down.’ * ArtsHub * ‘If you enjoy a psychological thriller—a kind of cat and mouse book—I would certainly recommend this…It’s a really good read to curl up with on a wintry night.’ * RNZ: Nine to Noon *
