French can certainly ramp up the tension. I was only a few pages into the book before my heart was in my mouth and I don't think it slowed and returned to position until I turned the final page. The plot is brilliant and totally convincing. It's a great piece of crime writing and I'd like to thank the publishers for letting Bookbag have an advance reading copy.
If this book appeals then you might also enjoy [[Clear My Name by Paula Daly]]. For more from Nicci French, try [[The Unheard by Nicci French|The Unheard]] or [[Has Anyone Seen Charlotte Salter ? by Nicci French|Has Anyone Seen Charlotte Salter?]].
