‘Sooooo good … did not put it down until I had read the very last page … impossible to ever forget … An outstanding novel by one extremely talented lady who though likened to some other pretty amazing authors, I think she is well and truly in a league of her own.’ By the Letter Book Reviews

‘All I can say is... BRILLIANT! I demolished this standalone novel in a day! The very first chapter completely sucked me in, I literally couldn't put it down! Before I knew it I was at 76% and I happily lost precious sleep last night in order to finish it.’ Booklover Catlady

‘An outstanding book that I devoured in just two sittings … nothing could stop me reading …I was captivated … truly enjoyed every page. I think the biggest surprise for me was how the story unfolded … A blinder of a book which I would hugely recommend to everybody reading this genre.’ Best Crime Books and More

Acknowledgments
To all my fantastic readers, thank you so much for all your comments, messages, and interaction on social media. You are the very reason I write, without you, none of this would have been possible. I love receiving your feedback and messages, so please do keep them coming!
Massive thanks to my editor Keshini Naidoo – as always, for her amazing editorial skills and advice. I love that you get my style of writing and how your ideas and input always seem to help pull everything together. It's always such a pleasure working alongside you. Looking forward to our next project!
Thanks to the lovely Kim Nash – Bookouture's very own Media Star! - for all your hard work, support and encouragement. You really are a star!
Thank you to all my lovely author friends I've met along the way. To all the Bookouture gang and to all the other writers at the scene of the crime. Writing can feel like a very solitary career sometimes, and it's nice to know that I’m not encountering this sometimes insane journey on my own ;)
Special thanks to Lucy, Sean and Laura for always reading the very first copy of all my books and giving me your honest feedback. Extra special thanks to Lucy – my bestie - For all your #FreeAgent work, and most importantly for feeding me with Gin at crime festivals ;) and to Tara for proof-listening to the audiobook – sorry about all the swearing!
As always I would like to thank my parents, family and friends for all their ongoing encouragement and support. None of it ever goes unnoticed.
Last but never least, to the most important people of all...
Danny and my boys.
My world
