Review
What a tremendous book. I loved every single gripping and strange thing about it. * MJ Hyland * Riveting, compelling and deliciously uncomfortable * Christos Tsiolkas * Shivers kept shooting up my backbone as I became engrossed in Koch's darkly disturbing tale of family life... As the dinner disintegrates into mayhem, we discover just how far the middle classes will go to protect their monstrous offspring -- Val Hennessy * Daily Mail * A brilliantly addictive novel that wraps its hands around your throat on page one and doesn't let go * SJ Watson, author of Before I Go To Sleep * Smart, shocking and unputdownable * Gillian Flynn * A feast of a novel... Spine-chillingly brilliant * Evening Standard * Deliciously dark * Independent * Gripping * Sunday Times *
