  • The barrister background of this writer makes the police and court procedural parts of this story particularly powerful . . . Middleton has a lawyer's keen eye for telling detail but the real strength of the story comes from the convincing depiction of a mother's love . . . a promising debut from a new voice

    Daily Mail

  • A twisty tale of parental love and a lie with terrible consequences. Dark, intense and so compelling that I read it in a single sitting

    Allie Reynolds, author of Shiver

  • A brilliant concept that pulled me straight into the story and kept me hooked to the end

    Nikki Smith, author of All in Her Head

  • An unnerving and gripping thriller in which a split-second choice plunges the protagonist Naomi into a web of terror and lies. Deftly written and chillingly plausible ... a bold, compelling and clever debut

    Philippa East, author of Little White Lies

  • A tense and claustrophobic rollercoaster

    Nina Manning, author of The Daughter in Law

  • An unforgettable debut with a truly chilling opening chapter that hooks you in and doesn't let go. Clever, compelling, pacy and powerful

    Diane Jeffrey, author of The Silent Friend
