Eve Chase does it again! The Birdcage is glorious; a bittersweet, beautifully written, slow burn family drama with a killer kick in the closing chapters. I loved every word of it -- Lisa Jewell, bestselling author of The Night She Disappeared
Atmospheric and twisty: think Daphne Du Maurier for the modern day * Sunday Telegraph *
