Reviews

I loved this brilliant, edgy, character driven thriller with a passion. So clever and fresh with a wild and incredibly satisfying twist at the end -- Lisa Jewell
The most gripping book I've read in ages. A posh house. A dinner party. Old friends, each with their own slant on their very very dark shared past. Mark Edwards is unbelievably skilled at coaxing you further in to the mystery with each page. -- William Shaw
