Ratings and reviews

Not the easiest read due to the complexity of the characters and intelligent plot but incredibly good. I loved it but it leaves me almost wanting to go back and read it again to fully appreciate it. Very "silence of the lambs" but in my opinion better. A great first read from this author and I look forward to reading more x

Real rollercoaster of a book, very detailed and exciting read

Very good nice twists all the way through
