Critics Review

  • Quite simply the best debut novel I’ve ever read.

    Tess Gerritsen
  • Brilliant in its pacing, profound in its central question, suspenseful on every page – and satisfying in its thriller ending.

    Anita Shreve
  • A deft, perceptive exploration of a fascinating neurological condition, and a cracking good thriller.

    Lionel Shriver
  • A terrific first novel – well-written, genuinely unsettling and psychologically very plausible. Thrillers seldom come much better than this. Loved it, read it in one

    Joanne Harris
  • An exceptional thriller. It left my nerves jangling for hours after I finished the last page

    Dennis Lehane
