Review :
Gripping, tense and moving A tense and shocking thriller that has the added treat of Lisa Ballantyne's deft prose. I loved it A powerful, rich read: it's a page-turner of a thriller, raising urgent moral questions, and yet at the same time, at its heart it's a tender, emotional exploration of friendship and love. I couldn't put this beautifully crafted, beautifully written book down; and the complex, flawed characters stayed with me for a long time. I loved it. As compelling as it is heart-breaking, a beautifully crafted story of unspeakable tragedy that tests the characters' relationships to their limits. I was absolutely gripped from the first page to the last. Highly recommended! Thrilling . . . so tense Praise for Lisa Ballantyne: Thought-provoking A gripping and emotionally charged story. Just brilliant Moving, insightful Sophisticated, suspenseful, unsettling This tense psychological thriller focuses relentlessly on the way its characters cope as stress piles up and the mess deepens A tense and moving story that I will remember for a long time Thought-provoking and clever Grips like a vice Thought-provoking, brave and challenging, this book is an unsettling and compulsive read Dark, intelligent, suspenseful One of the most readable, emotionally intense novels of the year I couldn't get this book out of my head. It kept me up all night and guessing the whole way through. I loved it A page-turner with real emotional depth A compelling and emotional read with convincing characters that stayed in my head. Lisa Ballantyne deals with a difficult and controversial subject in a sensitive and thoughtful way Tense, unsettling
