Critics Review
I didn’t look away once from this taut, intelligent thriller. Tense, gritty and shocking it’s a frighteningly relatable psychological horror, expertly intertwined with a police procedural. This story is the very definition of a page turner and S. M. Govett is a master storyteller – Janice Hallett
Confident, compelling and classy – M.J. Arlidge
Haunting and compelling, right to the final page. A terrific follow-up to Believe from S.M. Govett – Chris Chibnall
S.M Govett creates characters who - like most of us - are beautifully flawed and not always likeable, but you want to spend time with them anyway. I raced through it – Jane Fallon

Propulsive and provocative, taut and timely – A.J. Finn
A superior psychological thriller…gripping, clever and full of twists you won’t see coming – Sarah Pinborough
