“Hannah’s psychologically dense police procedurals probe at their
characters to reveal their inner lives and intentions as few others do,
and this—her eighth featuring Waterhouse and his wife, Charlie
Zailer—shows her proficiency by taking interior examinations to new
levels. Winner of the 2013 British National Book Awards’ Crime Thriller
of the Year, this is another example of Hannah’s mastery of
psychological suspense.”
