What They're Saying
Critics Review
‘A twisting tale’ My Weekly ‘Has the foreboding tension of Stephen King’s Misery … Benedict delivers a knockout punch that will make readers want to immerse themselves in this nightmarish, blood-soaked murder mystery for a second sitting to see what they might have missed’ Buzz Listings ‘I was instantly hooked and drawn into this creepy tale. Angela Carter meets Stephen King. Terrifying but in the best possible way. The allusions to the Brothers Grimm were seamless and cleverly integrated. A wicked joy of a book’ Chris Bridges
