The most literary of thriller writers, Melanie Wallace is not one to let a story get in the way of a finely crafted pored-over sentence. In many ways, the tense, thick and dark prose in The Housekeeper is almost painterly, painstakingly setting the scene of a savagely wintry, rural America
Metro
The poetic prose and bleak setting are impressive
Literary Review
Wallace has a spark of warmth and can be very moving
The Times
A story of pursuit, loss and redemption
Daily Express
Wallace dares to suggest that even when terrible things are happening, there is always some speck of humanity, and of beauty, somewhere
Margaret Forster
