Review Quote

The reversal comes in a double blow, the first of which is so cunningly done I found myself pausing, frowning and riffling back through the pages to confirm that I had, indeed, been thoroughly stitched up

Other text

A twisting psychological thriller based on a real Jacobean murder. Unputdownable
