Recensioner i media

An extraordinary book. The author takes familiar psychological thriller tropes and throws them up in the air to produce something truly original . . . The flawless storytelling is shared by Jane and Dr Byrd, and produces a narrative that successfully operates on several levels - simultaneously asking questions about the nature of being alive while still being a good old-fashioned page-turner.
