Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Review
'A story beset by menacing undercurrents. Grimshaw's novels evoke many of the contradictions of her native country' OBSERVER 'Grimshaw creates sharply drawn urban landscapes, whose noirish, unsettling atmosphere is powerfully caught.' THE TIMES 'Charlotte Grimshaw creates an overwhelming sense of despair and romance.' TLS 'Extraordinary. It's engaging, gripping and full of inspired, risky prose scribbled with evident relish.' TIME OUT 'Although it has many of the attributes of a conventional crime novel, the writing plumbs greater psychological depths.' DAILY TELEGRAPH
