Review
"It's the high level of emotional literacy, coupled with Taylor's beautifully controlled style, that makes this book a page-turning, one-sitting read from a master of psychological suspense."―Laura Wilson, Time Out
"A beautifully constructed novel, one of Taylor's best."―Margaret Cannon, Toronto Globe and Mail
"The story displays Taylor's usual skilful plotting and characterization as it moves between past and present, gradually exposing long-hidden secrets."―Sunday Telegraph
"Taylor is brilliant at capturing teenage angst . . . he excels not only in narrative control, but in depth of characterization."―Jane Jakeman, Independent
