Reviews

An angry, powerful read - one of those rare crime novels with more to deliver than routine thrills. A compelling, vividly realised prison drama with a mystery at its heart. Hugely enjoyed it. Intelligent, pacy thriller... Taut, claustrophobic, fast-paced, moving. An incredibly gripping read. What an amazing, roller-coaster ride and also a searing indictment of the way women are treated in prison. Highly recommended. Tense, unflinching and heartbreaking. This one kept me up late in the night. Angela Clarke has excelled herself. A chilling portrait of prison life, and a brilliantly pacy plot - Sunday Mirror A twisty thriller that intensifies as it reaches it's conclusion - a clever and compelling read - Woman s Weekly Well researched and shocking, this is both a gripping thriller and an indictment of prison policy - Literary Review
