Industry Reviews
A great book, truly hard to put down. Fast-paced, brilliantly plotted and desperately sad at times - all hallmarks of a bestseller -- Lesley Pearse
Compelling, twisty, heart-wrenching and thought-provoking. A novel that stays with you -- Sophie Kinsella
What a heartfelt emotional story, made even more so because it's based on a shocking truth. I raced through it, involved, moved and gripped * Fanny Blake *
