More praise for The Perfect Girl:
'The Perfect Girl mesmerizes from first to last. Highly original and prickling with tension - I could not stop turning the pages!' Shari Lapena, bestselling author of The Couple Next Door
'Intense, electrifying...grips like a python from the first page' Daily Mail
'An intense, unpredictable page turner' Good Housekeeping
'An unusual plot is accompanied by sharp characters and a thought-provoking denouement' Times
'Masterfully drawn characters and intricate plotting make this a stunning piece of crime fiction' Booklist
'A suspenseful, serpentine tale . . . [with a] perfectly executed final twist' Publishers Weekly
'With lovely prose, depth of character and an intelligent narrative, Macmillan lifts the level of suspense with stiletto-like precision: a tiny graze here, a shallow cut there and, eventually, a thrust into the heart. Profoundly unsettling and richly rewarding' Richmond Times
'This taut, well-written thriller explores domestic violence and family bonds ... and the conclusion is shocking and wonderfully satisfying. The story is told from multiple characters' perspectives, and is an insight into complicated relationships and the myriad reasons people choose one another. I hope Macmillan can be persuaded to write a sequel' New Zealand Women's Weekly
