Reviews
This is a stunning debut novel. Kirsty Lockwood writes with the skill and assurance of an author with many best-sellers already in the bank... Thrums with mystery and tension, while taking the reader deep into the psychology of loneliness, loss and trauma... All in all, a magnificent achievement.
A chilling and addictive debut . . . that lingers in the memory long after you've put it down.
An impressive, assured psychological thriller that says crucial things about power, status and control.
Truly chilling, and hard to keep away from
An exhilarating tour de force guaranteed to leave the pulse racing. The shocking opening sequence grabs the attention and doesn't let go until the emotional jolt at the end. I raced through it. Kirsty Lockwood delivers a layered, complex thriller, exploring themes of outsider friendship and the dangers of online life with a fresh and exciting prose style. The Glasgow setting is authentically nuanced, but for me it is humanity and depth of the characters which make this a truly special debut. Odette will stay with for a long long time.
