Critics Review
-
Fast paced and harrowing, this gripping novel will leave you guessing until the end
Bella
-
Atmospheric and suspenseful
The Lady
-
The plot has more twists and turns than the path of the legendary river and flows along just as swiftly. We couldn't put it down!

One of the most absorbing books I've read in a long time. Alice Quentin is such a warm character - unique, yet very real. I loved the sense of menace too - perfectly thrilling.
Mel Sherratt
-
An enjoyably scary chiller
Sunday Mirror
-
Psychological thriller writing at its best - an evocative read which draws you in and holds your attention all the way
Crime Review
-
Alice is a wonderfully rounded female protagonist who is vividly written, emotionally accessible and strong. Peppered with false trails, the reader is guessing the killer's identity right up to the last minute. This is a bone chilling read that will grip you from beginning to end
