Critics Review

‘A cracking read’ Val McDermid

‘Agatha Christie’s And Then There Were None meets Yellowface… Great fun!’ Kate Mosse

‘A great locked-room thriller and a brilliant satire on the publishing industry’ Karin Slaughter

‘A hugely entertaining and thrilling locked-room thriller’ B A Paris

‘Full of twists and turns … A must-read for any mystery fan!’ G.T. Karber

‘Fiendishly clever and compulsively readable… An absolute must read’ Ellery Lloyd

‘I was absolutely hooked from the beginning and then practically inhaled the rest of the novel. It’s funny, razor sharp and scarily relatable! I laughed and I winced. I hated and adored seeing my friends in publishing portrayed so cleverly/accurately/sardonically. The twists and turns are gorgeously unexpected and the characters brilliantly drawn. I just know readers will LOVE it as much as I did.’ Sarah Crossan

‘A wonderfully twisty mystery that plays with all the tropes we know so well. An absolute delight to read!’ Phoenicia Rogerson
