  • Superb debut thriller – assured, elegant and utterly gripping. EXCELLENT

    Will Dean, author of The Last Thing to Burn
  • Brilliantly written … I felt every single emotion and was immediately swept up into the story. I’ll be recommending it to everyone I know

    Sarah Pearse, author of The Sanatorium
  • Uncomfortable and compelling – a story which is truly the stuff of nightmares. Couldn’t put it down

    Catherine Cooper, Sunday Times bestselling author of The Chalet
  • The barrister background of this writer makes the police and court procedural parts of this story particularly powerful . . . Middleton has a lawyer’s keen eye for telling detail but the real strength of the story comes from the convincing depiction of a mother’s love . . . a promising debut from a new voice

    Daily Mail
  • A twisty tale of parental love and a lie with terrible consequences. Dark, intense and so compelling that I read it in a single sitting
