Critics Review

An assured debut that is as fresh and exciting as it is dark. Deft handling of sensitive subject matter: sex, power and control
Lisa Ballantyne
A slow-burn, atmospheric and literary thriller full of menace and secrets with some killer twists
Catherine Cooper
An exceptional debut: tense, taut and thrillingly original. Emma Cook writes beautifully
Sharon Bolton
This is a psychological thriller of the classier variety: notably well written, and tight with dark and disturbing tension. I was hooked
Joanna Briscoe
Emma Cook's tightly woven thriller proves that the worst pain isn't caused by physical wounds, but by the emotional harm we inflict on one another
