[A] clever little stocking filler from Peter Swanson. . . it pulls off the slickest of twists. - Times, 'Thriller of the Month'

The nights are drawing in, holidays are coming, and I just devoured this seasonal treat from Peter Swanson in a single sitting. A chilling gem that's going to make a perfect stocking filler this Christmas. Loved it. -- Mark Edwards

A punchy thriller [. . .] Swanson has plenty of knockout twists up his sleeve. . .This is a perfect introduction to one of the cleverest talents in contemporary genre fiction. - Publisher's Weekly, starred review

That master of the gently perverse, Peter Swanson, does not let us down. . . Swanson has a mischievous knack for twisting expectations. . . I love the way Swanson displays an affection for all the classic mystery writing tropes and then gleefully subverts them. Short but sweet and one to relish. - Crime Time
