Critics Review

Scrap offers a bricolage of arson, true crime, mystery and murder that takes its readers from the cosy humility of scrapbooking to the lofty heights of champagne dinners, exclusive gallery openings and private jets. At its wicked heart - a knotted mystery too intriguing to leave unpicked. – Alice Slater, author of Death of a Bookseller
Art, true crime and extreme wealth collide in this blackly humorous and enjoyably twisted mystery – Paula Hawkins, author of The Girl on the Train
A binge-worthy novel … Her sharp, intelligent prose and ability to create settings real enough to touch makes Scrap a brilliantly immersive and almost cinematic experience. If morally grey is your favourite colour, Scrap should be your next read * Jenny Mustard, author of Okay Days *
Fans of White Lotus might find much that appeals in this screwy black comedy that revels in the fabulously entertaining dysfunction at the heart of the world’s disgustingly wealthy … Henkel’s lacerating eye for the morally ambiguous keeps you hooked * Daily Mail *
A darkly humorous mystery about true crime, art and revenge * i *
