"An enthralling excavation of truth, with a vivid, human heart."
--Benjamin Stevenson, author of Everyone in My Family Has Killed Someone

"A remarkable exercise in complex story-telling written in Scrivenor's idiosyncratic, metaphorically vivid prose, and it's a worthy sequel to the best-selling, prize-winning, international phenomenon that was Dirt Creek. . . It is the contradictions between the appearance and the reality that underpin this unique crime novel that has an ending like no other."
--The Sydney Morning Herald

"This Force of Nature meets Single White Female mashup would, like Jane Harper's novels, make a compelling film."
--The Saturday Paper

"Hayley Scrivenor is the master of the unexpected. . . At the heart of this love story is the theme of female friendship, in all its complex, messy, beautiful glory. Hayley's characters are so real you swear you could reach out and touch them."
--Australian Women's Weekly

"With twists and turns aplenty, Scrivenor skillfully misleads us right up to the surprising denouement."
--The Big Issue

"Twisty. . . culminating in a bombshell reveal. . . Scrivenor's evocative sense of place and unerring aim for the emotional jugular keep the pages turning. . . Scrivenor delivers some gratifying jolts."
--Publishers Weekly
