Review: '[Sophie Hannah] has perfected the psychological thriller, always with strong female characters, and always with a high degree of edge-of-the-seat peril.' -- Bookseller 'A writer of prodigious talent ... This is a jaw-droppingly assured book which sometimes feels as if there's a plot twist on every page ... This reader was left speechless with admiration ... a truly sensational book.' -- Daily Express on LASTING DAMAGE 'For those who demand emotional intelligence and literary verve from their thrillers, Sophie Hannah is the writer of choice.' -- Guardian 'One of the great unmissables of this genre - intelligent, classy and with a wonderfully Gothic imagination.' -- The Times
