A cunningly wrought puzzle with a nice streak of black humour
Mail on Sunday

The Times (star pick)
Janice Hallett, the author of The Appeal and The Twyford Code, is on a roll... [A] quirky, clever tale
The Times (Best Books of 2023)
I'm agog at the skill with which Hallett uses her unconventional storytelling method, not just in unfolding the plot and springing surprises, but in building up memorable characters. Character and plot, wit and creepiness, are all in perfect balance. It's another resounding success
Daily Express
Undeniably clever and captivating, and delivers a brilliant twist that will delight fans of her previous books
Sunday Express
A gripping read, which keeps the reader guessing until the last page
Independent
The indefatigable Janice Hallett is back with another ingenious-sounding brain twister
Metro
As ever, the author's control of the material is masterly
Guardian
Hallett's gripping novel dares the reader to beat Amanda to the dark and twisted truth
Daily Mail
Sharp humour and playfulness entertainingly coexist
Financial Times
A riveting thriller... Hallett structures her novels as dossiers of found documents, transcripts and other evidence, leaving the reader to try to find the real story among unreliable narrators' statements. That process appeals to the journalist in me, which might explain why I read about 80 percent of this in a single sitting. It clearly also appeals to a lot of other people
New York Times
Mind-meltingly complicated, fiendishly well plotted, replete with delicious snark about publishing, clear-eyed and very funny about cold-blooded writerly ambition ... In its assured dexterity and exuberance, it is a bravura performance
Irish Times
God bless Janice Hallett and her especially twisty thrillers that, if you work even a shred of detail out, you feel amazing. Her third novel is brilliant
