‘Sensational. This is one of those books I will come back to time and again, year after year. Roz Morris evokes every sense to portray her story of two very individual characters in a complex and destructive relationship, with a shocking twist. I was gripped from the first sentence to the last and simply want more. This is not just a novel. This is a masterclass.’ Jennet, Amazon
‘I was seriously impressed by a writer of such skill and confidence. She dances between plausible reality and the shadowy realm of interpretation, underpinned by evident intelligence. A real corker, in fact.’
Jill Marsh, Words With Jam
‘Fine writing, skilled storytelling, excellent pacing, twists, turns, and a story that both entertains and informs. What a welcome relief spending time under the spell of such a skilled artist. Amazingly different.’
Maryann Madsen
‘As a bookseller I have to read 100s of books. Rarely do I read books more than once for pleasure – this book is one of them – it really is that good … Roz’s books .. are so good that I just leave copies on the counter, talk about them a bit and let them sell themselves.’
Peter Snell, Barton’s Bookshop, Leatherhead, Surrey
‘Sinister elements reminiscent of The League of Gentlemen and The Prisoner ... balance between intrigue, mild terror and charlatanism is perfectly maintained … I need to talk to someone about this book’
Ruby Barnes
‘Read it – it’s unusual, intriguing and ultimately satisfying… I loved it!’
Tessa Tangent
‘Like John Fowles’s The Magus … combining an unsettling plot with hints of more beyond. It’s not the depressing realism of your typical Booker novelist or the light fluffiness of a slice of middle class city life. Enjoyed it immensely.’
Matt Kelland
‘You really need to read this book, it is fantastic’
