Review:
"[A] gripping and moving thriller" (Guardian)
"Like other young Irish writers, O'Connor brings into view a sharp and harsh image of contemporary Ireland. But this carries with it a feeling of emotional credibility not found in more traditional and stereotypical images of Irish life. It also brings a deeply ironic black humour of which the novel is full" (Scotsman)
"Very near perfection. You’ll be on the edge of your seat." (The Literary Review)
