A splendid debut, fast-paced and well-written.
A promising debut.
Georgie Hale creates as fast-paced story with a dramatic denouement.
She leads the reader down lots of false trails and builds up many moments of suspense before the truth is finally revealed. It's a fine debut and hints at lots more good storeis to come.
Cracking debut novel from Georgie Hale...a splendid read, full of the unexpected
A well-told, intelligent storywhich never flags and makes one look forward to her next.
