Review

'Every sentence is appallingly, shockingly convincing ... a memorably harrowing journey through sick and weak minds, written with a skill that makes it relentlessly gripping.' (The Times)

'Like stepping on to a trundling country bus and feeling it turn into a roller coaster.' (The Sunday Times)

'A young man refurbishes suburban homes, lives with his mother and sister, becomes obsessed with a garden nymph statue and then dangerously infatuated with its living lookalike. This relationship is emotional, erotic and vampiric, with him as the victim.' (The Guardian)
