Review:
'I don't always agree with the Richard & Judy recommendations, but this time I am with them all the way. This book is a really classy thriller, with a plot that is complex and beguiling without being too convoluted ... Whenever I thought that I had unravelled the plot, another twist left me flummoxed, and the solution had me blinking with surprise and admiration' (Matthew Lewin, Guardian)
[Hart] explores betrayal and forgiveness in indelible prose (Observer)
Hart spins a clever mystery and keeps skilful control of his plot (Sunday Telegraph)

'A gripping thriller full of twists and turns' (Oldham Evening Chronicle)
'Hart proves here he is certainly no one-hit wonder' (Good Book Guide)
'This is a big, warm-hearted novel' (Natasha Cooper, Crime Time)
The story works both as a suspenseful whodunit and as a sensitive rumination on the emotional force of family dynamics (Washington Post)
If you value Harper Lee, James Lee Burke, Truman Capote and Michael Malone, its time to add John Hart to your bookshelves (New York Sun)
A novel about the power of family, how it defines and follows us, no matter how far or fast we run . . . Evocative storytelling and lush prose (Boston Globe)
Splendid . . . a beautifully constructed story of personal redemption, family secrets and murder a small-town epic, if there is such a thing (Booklist (starred review))
A taut, entertaining thriller . . . there are few books published that can legitimately be called a must-read, but this is one of them (Chicago Sun-Times)
