'Superbly readable and beautifully put together by a writer who really knows her craft.'
Independent on Sunday
'Doughty turns and tunes the characters with such skill that the true monster in their midst emerges with shocking surprise.'
Mail on Sunday
'In
this clever, dark novel, nothing is what it seems. The
characterisation is so convincing that it makes one look at one's own
neighbours rather nervously.'
Express on Sunday
'A
darkly comic and disturbing reminder of the messiness of real life, and
of people's ability to absorb the most startling events even murder.'
