Utterly UTTERLY magnificent! Great writing, gorgeous characterisation and such a plot – the pleasure it gave me! I was so deliciously engrossed
Marian Keyes
A contemporary white-knuckle ride that I could not look away from until the shocking end. My nerves were shredded! It's a brilliant modern psychological thriller with shades of Daphne Du Maurier and Nancy Price. I loved this book
Edel Coffey
This is a sharply engaging and propulsive crime drama, but what really gripped me was the depth of its characters and their stories. Woven into its deftly crafted plot are moving and poignant tales of love, loss, betrayal and redemption. A truly compelling read
Jake Arnott
An all too believable look behind the glossy world of the social media influencer in a pitch perfect south Dublin setting . . . both a satisfying mystery and a new twist on the traditional police duo
Sinéad Crowley
So tightly plotted with great characters, even one I myself wanted to kill! It had me on tenterhooks throughout and my nerves were shot

A twisty, intriguing, clever crime thriller . . . It’s beautifully written, the author’s empathy shining through her characters and her words
Michelle McDonagh
A dark unsettling mystery, tackling themes of abuse and murder but elevated by the depth of female friendship, old and new. Gill Perdue's ability to capture relationship dynamics is rivalled only by her skill at creating nail-biting tension. Gripping . . . a must-read!

Gill Perdue's best book yet. Grabs you from the very first page and it won't let go. Outstanding!

Nobody does the combination of real-life police procedural paired with the slow-burn of a sinister domestic thriller like Gill Perdue. An absolute page-turner.

Great story. Can't wait to see where they go next.

The best crime novel I've read in ages. Told with delicacy and real understanding, and perfectly paced, it is so completely gripping that by the time I reached the final chapters you would have had to tear the book from my cold dead hands.
