Reviews

Koomsonโ€™s characters are perfectly formed yet flawed, showing acute insight into the human psyche. Thanks to their depth and intricately woven, ever changing relationships, the novel simmers with tension and an undercurrent of darkness The novel simmers with tension and an undercurrent of darkness Tense and emotional This will creep its way under your skin and stay there long after you finish the final gut-twisting chapters. Brilliant. Another brilliant, suspenseful read from a master storyteller. Expand reviews
