This multilayered story deftly transitions from past to present and across world cultures to explore a confounding mystery. Alderson successfully weaves diverse elements into her plot, while maintaining tension and forward momentum throughout... Alderson's focus on anthropology and the ways in which the past permeates the present, is fresh and engrossing... Alderson successfully develops a large cast of nuanced characters, including adversaries. Readers will root for the smart and accomplished heroine of the story. - BookLife Prize for Fiction 2018 You will be on the edge of your seat wondering if Zelda will take one risk too many as well as wishing to discover what actually happened to Nicholas Mayfield. A thoroughly good read. - Lizanne Lloyd of Lost in a Good Book book blog This is an enjoyable and easy to read story of artefact collectors, with mystery and culture playing an important part. - TripFiction I enjoyed every single line of the book, but my favourite parts were the flashbacks where the author offers a glimpse of a culture that I know very little about. The chapters set in Papua and New Guinea, the insights into the life and rituals of the Asmat people are, in my opinion, priceless. - mystery author Dora Ilieva
