Ellis is a fine storyteller, weaving the past and present in a way that makes you want to read on * Peterborough Evening Telegraph * Star author. Unputdownable * Bookseller * I absolutely loved this book . . . A perfectly paced crime novel that beautifully evokes both time and place. Kate Ellis keeps you guessing all the way through to the final unexpected twist -- L. C. Tyler A splendidly macabre thriller with a very dark heart and a hugely effective twist at the end -- Andrew Taylor Fascinating, with a characteristically clever twist -- Martin Edwards Imagine a plot as devious as anything Agatha Christie devised, locate it in a Derbyshire village in 1919 and with writing as close to the pulse as Vera Brittain's Testament of Youth and you will have some idea of the extraordinary power of Kate Ellis's new novel -- Peter Lovesey
