Reviews

This fast-paced, authentic thriller written by an ex-crime analyst immerses you so deeply in the investigation, youll be desperate to get to the bottom of the case. * Crime Monthly Magazine *
The darkness surrounding the two girls and their vulnerable hopelessness twanged at my heart stringsThat the author is a former crime analyst gives the story an authentic, experienced and intelligent feel. Yet pleasingly there is not too much police jargon. There is a good sense of atmosphere along with time and place in both timelinesan excellent debut novel. * Crime Review *
