“One of those wonderful books in which the reader is pulled into the story no matter how unwillingly. The characters force you to read on. (Baker is) a novelist who combines a light humour with a viciously sharp penetration into how our minds work.” G. Lock, Shots.
“A really fine book. Splendid writing, very convincing characterization, a plausible crime, and central relationships that really work. Dora is a marvellous character, wonderfully developed.” Michelle Spring, novelist.
“The over-riding force in the book is Dora, the relationship between her and Sam, the unspoken messages that convey to the reader the strength of their love, and the power of the mind, as Dora reflects on her past, and sees truths that had previously eluded her. A terrific book. Highly recommended.” Lizzie Hayes, Editor, Mystery Women Magazine.
