Reviews
Immediately plunges you into an atmospheric world, that picks out the darkness that lies so near the sunlight of the Cornish coast. These voices tease, grip and never let you go until the brilliant and beguiling finish. A beautifully crafted tale of the things we hide.

Debbie Howell has produced a book of great humanity as a battered victim appeals for help to find her daughter who may or may not exist. Can she really trust the people who come to her aid? It is a story as rugged as its Cornwall landscape with hairpin bends in the story in the most unexpected places. Sharply written with characters that keep you guessing until the very last page, this story holds you tight and then drops you like a stoneLiz Nugent
Creepy, compelling, beautifully written and so twisty, I never saw that ending coming! I loved that there was not one, but two unreliable narrators and I was desperate to know whether the missing child existed or not. Brilliant!Claire Douglas
