Critic Reviews

A haunting novel about loss and reconciliation, driven by a simple but clever plot
A clever mystery plot... its excellence is in the characters, all credible and memorable'
A wonderfully eerie London setting and a suitably chilling plot... Lesley Thomson is now firmly established as one of our leading crime writers' (Elly Griffiths)
It cracks along at a nifty pace, throwing surprises up along the way, and builds to a pulsating finale... a satisfying plot full of twists and turns that keep you eager to discover more'
With hints of the supernatural and several sneaky red herrings laid in your path to trip you up, this sinister and murderous tale gradually creeps under your skin. Jack and Stella are complex individuals, and as far away from your generic detective as you can possibly get
The characters are well-defined, and both Stella and Jack would appear to display classic OCD elements, making them excellent candidates for both cleaning and detective work... addictive story line'
A very good mystery... Even without the Ripper, these surroundings exude menace, a feeling that will grip you until the very impressive end'
As this intriguing plot moves from the 1980s to the present day the reader is treated to haunting descriptions of London, a cast of fascinating characters, and an eerie tale of how the past can wait to impact on the present
Lesley Thomson's accidental detective Stella is back in this creepy thriller
