Critics Review
A sparkling debut from a name to watch. Hurcom expertly weaves a tale of claustrophobic suspicion set in a Welsh village a few miles from Cardiff - but so inward-looking and insular you might as well be in another world. This is top notch historical crime fiction, with a dash of the supernatural. A gorgeous book and a riveting tale. * David Young *An intriguing debut. * The Times *A promising debut - gothic, claustrophobic and wonderfully dark. * Guardian *Wonderfully dark and creepy…I find it hard to believe this is Hurcom’s first novel. It’s creepy, disturbing, eerie, dark, spine-chilling and macabre in every way that a Gothic thriller should be. It will make you uneasy - but you won’t want to put it down. There is a clever and quite brilliant final twist * Crime Review *
