‘Mottram understands the mechanics of a great mystery; she has the grip of a born storyteller. The plot hums, and it’s populated by a vast, vivid cast.’
Kill Your Darlings
‘The sense of chaos feels very real, adding a level of authenticity to a different viewpoint of a crime: one that prioritises children, often unwitting victims of upheaval and trauma.’
Newtown Review of Books
‘An easy, but great suspenseful read, with relatable and well written characters... If you enjoyed the book Jane Harper’s The Dry or any of James Patterson’s books, then you’ll love this.’
