Media Reviews
'The multi-faceted surprise ending to the taut, suspenseful plot is the juiciest plum in this can't-put-down novel.' -- Publishers Weekly 'She is a great storyteller. The totality is a big fat, satisfying book.' -- Frances Fyfield, Sunday Express 'A compelling mystery,intricately plotted, with multiple twists and a satisfyingly devious finale. George is brilliant at juggling so many motives and so many suspects, keeping the reader enthralled, and coming up with such a clever solution.' -- Marcel Berlins, The Times 'George's nine best-selling novels of psychological suspense are burnished with the internationalism that is a result of dividing her time between California and London' -- The Times
