Reviews

Absolutely riveting, entertaining and eminently readable. -- Liz Nugent Utterly UTTERLY magnificent! Great writing, gorgeous characterisation and such a plot – the pleasure it gave me! I was so deliciously engrossed -- Marian Keyes A contemporary white-knuckle ride that I could not look away from until the shocking end. My nerves were shredded! It's a brilliant modern psychological thriller with shades of Daphne Du Maurier and Nancy Price. I loved this book -- Edel Coffey This is a sharply engaging and propulsive crime drama, but what really gripped me was the depth of its characters and their stories. Woven into its deftly crafted plot are moving and poignant tales of love, loss, betrayal and redemption. A truly compelling read -- Jake Arnott An all too believable look behind the glossy world of the social media influencer in a pitch perfect south Dublin setting . . . both a satisfying mystery and a new twist on the traditional police duo -- Sinéad Crowley So tightly plotted with great characters, even one I myself wanted to kill! It had me on tenterhooks throughout and my nerves were shot -- Patricia Gibney Gill Perdue has a real way of seeing into people's minds and hearts, and she's not afraid of the dark -- Kitty Murphy A twisty, intriguing, clever crime thriller . . . It’s beautifully written, the author’s empathy shining through her characters and her words -- Michelle McDonagh A dark unsettling mystery, tackling themes of abuse and murder but elevated by the depth of female friendship, old and new. Gill Perdue's ability to capture relationship dynamics is rivalled only by her skill at creating nail-biting tension. Gripping . . . a must-read! -- Amy Jordan A compulsive heart-stopping read that makes you forget to breathe! I couldn't turn the pages fast enough – a superb, a gripping, tense, bone chiller of a book that you won't forget -- Sam Blake
