This is a rollercoaster ride of a twisty thriller that had me completely immersed. I was up till 1am reading. Wow. I devoured the whole book in a day.

I loved the writing style which captured a creeping sense of dread. The characters are layered and have nuance and the theme of coercive controlling relationships and partner/spousal abuse worked well. This was all sensitively handled and felt realistic and authentic.

There's enough flashes of humour to lift the book and the author's observations skills are astute. Highly recommend this five star read. I'm excited to see what this author does next.
