Moody, propulsive, and one of the most intriguing set ups I've read in years. Erin Kelly doesn't put a foot wrong in this atmospheric, original thriller - Gillian McAllister
A feat of real ambition and imagination - original, suspenseful, and with complex characters that spring irresistibly to life on the page, this is Erin Kelly at her finest - Louise Candlish
Erin Kelly excels at twisted family dynamics and toxic, compelling characters, and this glorious slice of bohemian gothic showcases all her strengths - Ruth Ware
Scary, eerie, moving and compelling: a beautifully-plotted, gorgeously-written triumph of a thriller - Nicci French
A twisted treasure hunt with a fatal family secret at its heart. Powerful, playful and deeply disturbing. I loved it - Sarah Hilary
A blisteringly good read. I simply couldn't put it down - Lucy Dawson
A unique storyteller; impossible to predict, impossible to put down - John Mars
Such a clever, intriguing read . . . There's layer upon layer of mystery in this frankly brilliant read - Belfast Telegraph
Gloriously gothic - a richly layered, utterly compulsive read. I completely lost myself to this book for a few days. This is Erin Kelly at the height of her powers - Lucy Foley
I adored this novel. Treasure hunts, an old book, puzzles & clues, and bone hunters. What more could you want? Gothic, complex, character-driven, addictive and intense. The PERFECT bookclub thriller for 2022 - Will Dean
