‘To say I devoured this book is an understatement . . . I loved that the whole time I was reading it I felt like I was trying to work out the mystery for myself but just like the main trio, I was wrong every time!’

‘As with all Karen M McManus’ novels, this one is super engaging and will suck you in almost immediately. The chapters are short and sharp, with perfectly timed reveals and twists . . . manages to maintain a sense of believability, without being boring or predictable, but also still delivers on the pure escapism I want from my thrillers.’

‘I kid you not, I sped read this book in two days flat, and it would have been sooner but I work office hours. I stayed up until past midnight to finish it, and that’s always the mark of a good book.’
- @elsa.the.ravenclaw (Full review here

‘Being left to constantly question everyone's intentions is an amazing way to keep me guessing and the shocking ending was the icing on the cake!’
- Kiah

‘I was interested by the whodunnit factor of course, but the real mystery is in each characters own individual secret, which somehow ties into the main plot. Each of these reveals was really well done, and paced throughout the book, compelling you to keep reading.’
- Samantha (Goodreads reviewer)

‘Oh man I dont know how this author is so consistently good!!! I loved this book read it in 2 days it was hard to put it down!’
- Tangawai (Goodreads reviewer)
