Media Reviews

If you've been left with a Girl on the Train-shaped shaped hole in your life, this book will undoubtedly fill it ... sinister and compelling * Evening Standard *
Terrific, engaging, brand new. The twist, which I didn't see coming, is perfectly set up. In fact, it was forehead-smackingly clever. Monica will stay with me for ever * Steven Moffat *
NJ Fountain has produced a beautifully written thriller that manages to be both devious and compulsive * Ben Aaronovitch *
N.J. Fountain throws in twist after twist... even the keenest mystery reader will be kept guessing to the end * Real Crime *
