A damn fine crime novel. I loved the clever construction and the smoothly handled reveals. While maintaining all the tropes of the genre, Bauer manages to inject some excitement and originality. But it’s not the best crime novel of the year – that honour goes to Megan Abbott. It’s also not a Booker Prize worthy novel in my opinion; the prose is not at that level. But it’s hugely readable and captivating and I’m glad to have been introduced to Bauer’s work and will mine her backlist.
