‘Original and compelling – a sensational debut’ Clare Mackintosh, bestselling author of I Let You Go

‘The new Girl on The Train, which was the new Gone Girl. You get the picture. This psycho-thriller by Ali Land is set to be massive’ Cosmopolitan

‘Utterly compelling, extraordinary, breath-taking’ Joanna Cannon, author of The Trouble with Goats and Sheep

‘An astoundingly compelling thriller. Beyond tense’ Matt Haig

My Review: A thoroughly gripping and highly disturbing debut novel. Millie is an intelligent 15 year old trying to fit in and belong. However being the daughter of a prolific serial killer who is on trial thanks to Millie telling the police is not easy, especially when your serial killing parent is your mother. This page turner kept me gripped throughout. With a mixed bag of feelings ranging from horror to sympathy I thoroughly recommend this book especially if you enjoy uncomfortable stories. 5 stars
