Review:
Haynes' first novel, Into the Darkest Corner...was an internet sensation last year and this is just as impressive and in much the same mould.
About the Author:
Haynes, does a great job in ratcheting up the suspense...and there are many lip-biting moments. --Daily Mail, March 15, 2012
This racy jeopardy thriller, making good use of several interesting settings, proves that Haynes' much-praised first novel was no fluke. --Morning Star, February 22, 2012
The style is easy to read with flashbacks leading into the present...The plot is excellent and I thoroughly enjoyed this excellent read. Plenty for reading groups to discuss. --New Books: the magazine for readers and reading groups
I finished it in the small hours of the following morning...this is the difficult-to-put-down second book. And if you haven't read Into The Darkest Corner then you really should. --The Bookbag
Packed with unexpected twists and turns the plot moves seamlessly from the past to the present...[and] surges towards its thrilling conclusion.

'Haynes has created a captivating heroine in Genevieve. For all her post-sexual-revolution behaviour, she comes over as a good old-fashioned tomboy. She is practical and pragmatic, with enviable physical skills, touchingly naive, and enhanced by an uncomplicated tender heart beating beneath her tough guy image. As Haynes herself is a police intelligence analyst she is well placed to add authenticity to her skills of storytelling. Unputdownable, this thriller with a heart of gold reads like a breath of fresh air.' --RED MAGAZINE
