Harry Posehn is the best dad, the best husband... well, maybe not.
Detective Teaghan Beaumont is getting closer and closer to discovering the truth about Harry Posehn. But there's a twist that she – and you, dear reader – will never see coming.

—— Daily MailImmensely readable. The plot twist is both sinister and affecting, and so skillfully done that you remember why authors had plot twists in the first place

—— Irish TimesTense and gorgeous and so damn clever. I loved every second.
—— Lauren Beukes, author of international bestseller , The Shining GirlsClever in the best sense: Oliva is able to skewer reality show culture and dystopian tropes while never letting concept or critique become more important than a good yarn. The novel is thoroughly steeped in its times-the use of a Reddit-like forum plays a key plot role-but unlike other dystopian novels, it doesn't so much use contemporary times to warn us about potential future collapse as it shows what impact our times have on the ways we think about identity and human relationships. An astute and compelling entry into the post-apocalypse genre

—— Sarah HilaryA gradual descent from ordinary, straightforward murder to the very heart of darkness. Liz Nugent's characters are as unforgettably monstrous as they are believable ... superbly crafted

—— Amanda RedmanTaut, crisp, clear, a storm-warning of a book. It has the eeriness of The Turn of the Screw, but as these screws turn, a mighty tension takes hold. Masterly.
