Review
"The fascination is horrible, the prose addictive, the situation magnificently claustrophobic, the denouement shocking" -- Alan Taylor * Herald * "Morrison has created far more than a sinister take on the country-house novel... This is a suspenseful thriller, but more importantly it succeeds as an exceedingly clever investigation into the strangeness of lies" -- Christian House * Independent on Sunday * "A compelling psychological thriller that, in parts, will cause you to actually flinch" -- Ben Felsenberg * Metro * "Delightfully twisted" -- David Mills * Esquire * "This is one achievement among several for Blake Morrison, who has written a novel that is at once artful and naturalistic, restrained and yet suggestive, and faithful to a perspective from which the readers wants to recoil" -- Stephen Abell * Times Literary Supplement *
