Review
'So ingeniously constructed, its truth and falsehoods are so deftly and convincingly interwoven, that its solution ... is as jolting as a flash of lightning' (The Sunday Times)
'Vine's control of plot and pure horripilation ... simultaneously thrills and disquiets. She goes for the imagination as a lesser writer would go for the jugular.' (Literary Review)
'One of the most frightening novels I have ever read ... Gerald Candless, the monster at the heart of the maze, is a marvellous creation.' (Express on Sunday)
