I was absolutely blown away by this utterly ingenious book. So
deftly plotted with entirely credible characters. Even though it's
early in the year, I doubt I'll read a better crime novel in 2022.
I absolutely loved it

This brilliant book captured me from the first page and didn't let
go! Jo Spain's beautifully atmospheric prose transports you to the

investigation. A fantastic, page-turning read. I absolutely loved
it!
