I loved it - gripping, sinister, original and brilliant!
Sophie Hannah, author of 'Did You See Melody?'
A wonderfully creepy voice, macabre and blackly comic with a deeply unsettling and original hero.
Rosamund Lupton, author of 'Sister'
A brilliant read, almost unbearably tense at times.
Daily Mail
Very clever. A creepily alluring voice.
Julia Crouch
A wonderfully sinister fable of property and obsession.
Observer
Brims with wry wit and taut tension [and] delivers one surprise after another.
The New York Times
One to watch: an eerie page-turner.
Cathy Rentzenbrink, The Bookseller
Brilliantly creepy
Observer
You'll definitely want to change your locks after reading this original and darkly funny novel that will send shivers down your spine.
Stylist
Another unreliable narrator we really should not be siding, but who proves so engaging that we can't help but go along for the ride in this gripping, thrilling novel.
David Barrnett, Independent on Sunday
There is a delicious feeling of complicity in his misdemeanours: Heming gets in side your head as easily as he gets into his neighbours' houses... a superbly plotted and genuinely creepy novel. it deserves to be a bestseller.
Sunday Express
A creepy and unexpected tale that will remain with the reader long after the book is finished.
The Star
The first-person portrayal of a truly cold-blooded protagonist is a hard thing to pull off, especially one whose outward appearance is so benign but Phil Hogan has created an antihero horrifically ruthless and disquieting.
Guardian
Seriously creepy!
Emma Curtis, author of 'One Little Mistake'
