"I hope Rosenberg turns this into a series." - Amazon Review

"Tremendously creepy psychological thriller that kept this reader guessing until the final page. It's a wonderfully cinematic work with hat-tips to Hitchcock and Lynch as the tension is ratcheted up throughout creating an eerily claustrophobic sense of helplessness." - Amazon UK Review

"This psychological tale exposes us to a complex inner world which we can all recognise but which few of us would comfortably wish to explore in ourselves." - Amazon UK Review

"the author's skill in keeping the reader on edge - and, in fact, steadily increasing the sense of discomfort, whilst keeping me turning the pages - was great"  Amazon UK Review

"A chest-tightening metaphor for the loneliness, grief and depression that may be found behind the front door of any home anywhere. A really good first novel with a palpable sense of unease." Goodreads Review (#3 top reviewer)
