A rare and exquisite novel, and one that marks Fiona Cummins out as one of our bravest crime writers (not to mention one of the best). Unbearably tense, devastatingly dark, but ultimately a homage to love and survival.
Caz Frear, author of Five Bad Deeds

Gripping and page-turnery and all those good things but also keeps you right on the edge of heartbreak. Stunning.
Laura Marshall, author of Friend Request
