“Julia Crouch writes so well that her novels are even better the second time around, even when you know where the bodies are buried. That’s how good she is.”
Julie Burchill
“Compellingly reveals the conflicts beneath an apparently perfect happy family, and how what you long for can lead you to darker places than you imagined. An ingenious mix of heady romance and unsettling thriller.”
Penny Hancock, author of Tideline
“The setting and the relentlessness reminded me a little of Stephen King… though I prefer the moments when Crouch is a little more arch and macabre than the Maine man… I loved it.”
