A triumph: cunningly plotted, shrewdly characterised. Hill has an understanding of evil that is both acute and disconcerting. Literary Review The psychology and pace of the whole - and the quality of the writing - are utterly absorbing. Country Life Masterly story telling from an accomplished writer The Good Book Guide All the ingredients for the perfect crime novel are here, but the added value comes from Hill's distinctive and human psychological insights. The Daily Mail Delicious agony...The suspense-building techniques of Alfred Hitchcock have long been locked into Susan Hill's literary apparatus and they are given full rein here Daily Express Susan Hill's crime novels are getting better and better... The main plot is straightforward enough -- who is the killer and will he be caught? -- but the narrative is so streamlined and effective that it races beautifully along until it smacks against the buffers of an unexpected but entirely convincing ending Spectator It's a wonder it hasn't been snapped up for telly Scotland on Sunday I stayed up gone two in the morning and by the end there were tears in my eyes Daily Telegraph As always, Hill creates a marvellous cast of characters with absorbing contemporary concerns... This is crime reading for those who relish a perceptive take on human nature as much as finding out whodunit Daily Mail
