Critic reviews

‘A flawless meditation on creativity and the psychic toll it takes. Not only is it beautifully written, but there's a bloody good twister of a plot that rewards you well beyond the final page’ (Jessie Burton, author of The Miniaturist)
‘Stunning … Wood has created one of the most moving and human characters in recent fiction’ (Emily St. John Mandel, author of Station Eleven)
‘A curious, bewitching and beguiling book that manages to be both profoundly moving and as gripping and unputdownable as a thriller. Outstanding’ (SJ Watson, author of Before I Go to Sleep)
‘An intelligent examination of creativity, psychology, and a riveting mystery … this ambitious novel will haunt the imagination long after the final page’
‘A resounding achievement … Absorbing, rich, beautiful’
‘Exhilarating. A masterfully paced and suspenseful read’
‘Wood has lost none of his ability to combine suspense with striking images. His fiction is playfully experimental, but never loses sight of its primary purpose: to entertain’

the beginning off putting but because it's audio you keep going and then you start to see the point. writing beautiful at times and pace picks up from halfway through speeding towards the end

slow to start but stick with it becomes excellent
