Goodreads Reviews
"I thoroughly enjoyed this contemporary thriller set in the Scottish Highlands. The writing is tight yet descriptive and it places you firmly in the location. The main characters are likable and believable and you grew to care for them. The villains are deliciously villainous! This was a fast read but immersed me completely in the story. This debut novel by Catherine Yaffe feels anything but and I can’t wait to read more by this talented author!"
"Stripped back, tightly written thriller"
"I knew I was going to enjoy this book from the first chapter. The story flows, is well written and pacy. I liked all the characters, who are totally believable, apart from Ryan who is believable and a nasty piece of work! Great debut novel and would recommend. This book would make a satisfying holiday read."
"Wow, fabulous! I'd certainly read all your book if they were anything like this one. Characters are believable and the plot kept me guessing right until the end."
"Thought I'd give your book a proper read today after picking it up yesterday and reading a little. That was about 1pm, I've just finished. Not stopped, if that gives you any indication of how good I found it.
I thought the story was great, my heart was in my mouth when Joe went missing!"
