TylerA splendidly macabre thriller with a very dark heart and a hugely effective twist at the end – Andrew TaylorFascinating, with a characteristically clever twist – Martin EdwardsImagine a plot as devious as anything Agatha Christie devised, locate it in a Derbyshire village in 1919 and with writing as close to the pulse as Vera Brittain’s Testament of Youth and you will have some idea of the extraordinary power of Kate Ellis’s new novel – Peter Lovesey
