WHAT EVERYONE IS SAYING:

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “A cracking read, an irresistible narrator.” Val McDermid

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “A remote, dark, and ominous Scottish locale, an emotionally damaged protagonist . . . what more could you want in a thriller?” NetGalley reader

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “Three dimensional. One of a kind.” Mark

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “The clues are delicious. McPherson’s story never sags. There’s energy on every page, no hand-holding allowed! [The heroine] has breathing mantras to calm herself. As the creeping dread mounts, you might need your own!” NetGalley reader

“A deliciously disturbing tale of deception and self-deception . . . from a persuasive and immersive writer at the crest of her powers.” Alex Marwood

“One of the best I read this year — a superb story!” Crimespree Magazine
