Synopsis

PERFECT WIFE. PERFECT KILLER? From the two-time winner of the Theakstons Old Peculier Crime Novel of the Year Award Susie Harriot, a respected psychiatrist, has been convicted of the brutal murder of a serial killer in her care. It looks certain that she will be given a life sentence, depriving her of her home, her family and her two-year-old daughter. Susie's husband, Lachlan, is convinced she is innocent and is desperate to prove it. Each night, he climbs the stairs to her study and goes through her papers - her case notes, her interviews, and the press cuttings from the trial. But the more Lachlan discovers, the more he suspects that his wife has been hiding a dark secret.

Media Reviews
One of the most exciting writers to have emerged in Britain for years -- Ian Rankin
Quite simply brilliant... Mina springs a number of surprises, not least the terrific ending * Observer *
A masterly psychological web of people on the edge and the devils that lie beneath their apparent respectability. Engrossing * Guardian *
Something special... A tour de force * Times Literary Supplement *
A gem of a novel. One of those sharp, shrewd, incisive stories that sneaks under your skin and stays there for days. Read it: you'll be glad you did * Glasgow Herald *
