An excellent detective novel. The opening scene is superb, and sets up the story beautifully. Gripping, multi-layered and fresh. Terrific -- Will Dean, author of Dark Pines A brilliant premise, perfectly executed. A genuine page turner - it kept me guessing right until the end. -- Chris Hammer, bestselling author of Scrublands A riveting new book, with such vivid characters -- Holly Watt, author of To the Lions An absolute gem - I was hooked from the first page -- Jo Jakeman, author of Sticks and Stones The first scene was brilliantly terrifying and the rest of the novel lived up to the strong opening - I had no idea who the killer was and it was superbly plotted. I loved the characters, too, especially the investigating team. I can see that this series is going to be a huge hit. -- Emily Koch, bestselling author of If I Die Before I Wake A cold blooded chiller from first page to last. I loved She Lies In Wait, Watching From The Dark is even better -- Chris Whitaker You'll be reluctant to put this book down until you've unravelled all its dark plot twists * Culture Fly * Lodge writes perceptively about rivalries between young women, showing how even the best-intended relationships can become toxic * The Sunday Times * A satisfyingly complex whodunnit that will keep readers gripped and baffled in equal measure * Daily Express * This page-turner of a novel is intricately and intelligently plotted, and keeps you guessing right up to its gripping close * Cambridge Edition * I really loved this. Jonah Sheens is a well-drawn and likeable detective, and what I like about Gytha's writing is that she thinks outside the box -- Gillian McAllister, bestelling author of How to Disappear
