About this title

Review:

'A thoughtful, well-observed story ... It reminded me of Kate Atkinson' Scott Pack.

'Tense and gripping ... On the edge of my seat? No way – I was cowering under it' Shotsmag.

'Skilfully evokes the era and slow-moving childhood summers ... A study of memory and guilt with several twists' Guardian.

'This is a haunting novel about loss and reconciliation, driven by a simple but clever plot' The Sunday Times.

'This book has a clever mystery plot – but its excellence is in the characters, all credible and memorable, and in its setting in a real West London street, exactly described' Literary Review.

'A cerebral thriller ... evokes chills from more than just the frigid winter nights ... Twists and surprises abound' Forward Reviews Magazine.
