Review:
Outstanding . . . quietly breathtaking * NZ Herald * A brilliantly written and intuitive character study . . . at turns heartbreaking and cruelly ironic, a really intense piece of storytelling that digs deep * Liz Loves Books * Mindy Mejia peels away the layers of a small-town crime of passion to leave your heart aching. Sheriff Del Goodman brings a war-weary humanity to a murder investigation that confronts youthful arrogance and presumption, a fear of settling for too little and the tragic force of love. A brilliant crime thriller -- Isabelle Grey, author of Out of Sight, The Bad Mother and Shot Through the Heart An exquisitely written look at the claustrophobic nature of small town life, Mindy Mejia has created an atmospheric psychological thriller, with a central character who will live on in your thoughts after the last page is turned -- Sinead Crowley, author of Can Anybody Help Me? and Are You Watching Me? An utterly absorbing and original novel that explores the secrets and lies at the centre of a small town in Minnesota. Mindy Mejia is an exciting new voice on the crime scene. * Elly Griffiths * A gripping mystery * Guardian * Beautifully told, it is Mejia's first book to be published in Britain and announces her as a future star in crime writing * Daily Mail * Exploits conventional ideas about female manipulation only to challenge them . . . a haunting piece of fiction, full of characters whose self-obsession leads to tragedy * Sunday Times Crime Book of the Month *
