Review quote: previous edition
Swanson”s pacing is exemplary. He knows how to ration his twists and where in the narrative to place them… the way he does it is so smart and exciting that you”re just happy to get swept along.
Review quote: previous edition
In trademark style, Swanson”s ingenious plotting throws up tantalising clues and then slowly unravels them through a series of shocking revelations, leaving readers confused, bemused and racing to the last page. Compelling, creepy, and psychologically astute, this is stylish thriller writing at its very best.
