"A slickly plotted, whip smart thriller - genuinely chilling and totally compulsive" * Sunday Mirror, Book of the Week *
"[A] chilling psychological thriller..a tense, claustrophobic marriage of secrets, tequila shots and shotguns" * Sunday Express *
"If the premise might be the sort that Agatha Christie would have toyed with had she been a 21st-century graduate, Ware’s analysis of the power-games some women revel in – and the toxicity in the undertow of some female friendships – is more reminiscent of Sophie Hannah, Christobel Kent, or even Gillian Flynn and Harriet Lane" -- Patricia Nicol * Independent *
"You won’t be able to put down this creepy page-turner" * Closer *
"Thrilling, gripping & well-written" * Metro, Book of the Week *
"Toxic friendships, an isolated house, a dark snowy wood... Everyone's worst nightmare, and the perfect ingredients for this tense, terrifying novel" -- Clare Mackintosh, author of I Let You Go
"This is one of the hottest crime debuts around, one that does for friendship what Gone Girl did for marriage" * Netgalley *
"So gripping. So glad my hen do days are behind me. It’s going to be huge" -- Tamar Cohen, author of Dying for Christmas and The Broken
