—— Awfully Big Reviews

Thrilling and chilling - but don't read it when home alone.

—— Amanda Craig , New Statesman

A suitably creepy tale of murder and urban exploration

—— Crime Review

The build-up of tension is so excellently handled that the desire to know what happens next has to be set against the fear that the revelation of what lies ahead is going to shock us well out of our comfort zone . . . she certainly knows how to play with a reader's nervous system

A treat: original, beautifully written and very enjoyable

—— New Welsh Review

A darn good adventure.

—— Publishers Weekly, starred review

This novel is a chilling ghost story, a gripping adventure, and a heartwarming look at the often-painful pull of adulthood.
