Reviews:
‘Compulsive reading. The author has an ear for dialogue and a gift for creating believable characters. This is real class.’ The Sunday Telegraph
‘Billed as a ‘chilling, atmospheric second novel by the acclaimed author of A LITTLE DEATH’ doesn’t do this book justice. Ms Wilson has certainly broken the mould… Her characters aren’t in the least bit sympathetic but the plot moves along at such a cracking pace that you forget to be irritated by them. This is a dysfunctional family with a vengeance – but they make for a good tale.’ The New Writer
‘High quality thrills, many of them traditional (footsteps on the gravel after dark, the cat found strangled, a stalker sensed rather than seen) but at its scary best when concentrating on the sense of isolation felt and feared by the very rich. The Seventies achingly evoked… A keen ear for idiom, including relentless morale boosting by a WW2 veteran… and a narrative relayed in the perfect pitch of a writer with pedigree goods to deliver.’ Literary Review
‘Wilson has a gift for characterization blending action with passivity and tingeing it with anger and sorrow, acceptance and rejection, despair and a curiously uplifting sense of, if not hope, redemption. The wrongdoers are less evil than damaged and the plot incidents are propelled by accident rather than design, creating elegant, intricate, unsettling mysteries.’ The Poisoned Pen
