Fans of Parry's previous novels will notice a darker tone ... a willingness on Parry's part to push deeper into the crime aspect and the most sinister side of humanity. New readers should enjoy the extra layer of suspense that the growing emotional connection between the main characters provides ... A plot so successfully suspenseful that I stopped reading it before bed!' Australian Bookseller & Publisher, 4 Stars
