Reviews
The Daily Mail
Carla McKay
“This is a tale of slow-burning suspense, but Crouch, whose debut novel this is, deftly avoids the obvious and builds up a very convincing air of menace in her extremely well-described portrait of family life becoming frayed at the edges with fatal results.”

Jake Kerridge
“The novels of Nicci French started the vogue for thrillers in which successful middle-class women find their lives starting to unravel while readers either sympathise or cheer. Julia Crouch’s debut sticks to this familiar territory but it is very enjoyable: expertly paced and cleverly ambiguous.”
