an enjoyable creepy read  with the psychological depth that Sophie Hannah is known for

this bestselling writer knows how to pile on the tension ... and her ending is chillingly, memorably disturbing

Sophie Hannah is a genius at creating and building tension and this book is no different.

a beautifully constructed, atmospheric chiller which I highly recommend

Her trademark precision-layered structure creates a multi-dimensional maze that holds at its centre a revelation which is truly hair-raising

Cool, calculating and utterly chilling… to be gulped down with all the lights on and someone to grab when the sense of menace grows too great.

Sophie Hannah has quickly established herself as a doyenne of the 'home horror' school of psychological tension, taking domestic situations and wringing from them dark, gothic thrills.

Hannah is a master of intense psychological thrillers . . . Full of twists and turns, and terrifying, too.

She grips from start to finish - a grip which held me against my will because the sustained atmosphere of mild hysteria is hard to take . . . I couldn't put it down.

The chilling story of a woman haunted by music 
 
that only she can hear, 
 
sung by a choir of children 
 
that only she can see ...
