Reviews

'Does for bathtubs what Psycho did for showers. A thriller honed to a fine point, sharp and keen and piercing; it's darkly comic, too, and uncommonly observant. This is suspense you can feel good about.' * A. J. Finn *
'I absolutely loved Andrea's new book. It's definitely her best yet. I had to keep turning the pages. It's so well plotted and the characters are believable and excellently drawn. Andrea has a way of getting you inside the characters' heads and they won't let go until you turn the last page.' * Patricia Gibney *
