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
So high-concept, so ambitious and so structurally brilliant. It's so rare to read a thriller that's perfect in every detail, but this one definitely qualifies!
Sophie Hannah
A deeply unsettling debut that asks the most terrifying question - what do you have left when you lose yourself?
Val McDermid
A truly amazing debut. The central character, Christine, is beautifully drawn. It's hard to imagine a more compelling, believable and sympathetic portrayal of a damaged human being. I loved it from start to finish.
