Reviews

Nerve-wrackingly tense and paranoia-inducing, with a sense of unease that just won't let go. I loved every minute!
You'll be gripped by just who is out to get Charlie - and why * HEAT *
A queasily unsettling thriller is suffused with menace. * Sunday Mirror *
An excellent, page-turning psychological suspense novel with a great plot and an engaging protagonist! Kept me guessing to the end -- Jenny Quintana, author of The Missing Girl
I was absolutely gripped by this tale of secrets, lies, and the impossibility of running away from your past. I struggled to put this book down. Fantastic! -- Luca Veste, author of The Bone Keeper
