Encouraged by her new and only friend Ginny, Kat joins New Horizons, dubbed the Coffin Club by its members. And that's how she meets Nico. Instantly drawn to each other, Nico seems like Kat's perfect match. He is kind, caring, handsome and, most importantly, a father to five-year-old Magdalena. This could be Kat's shot at the one thing she has always wanted: to be a mother.

'A psychological thriller that spins around a couple of modern themes, touching on mental health and even migration and Brexit. The characters are plausible and intriguing and the reveals are clever and satisfying.'
-- CrimeTime
'A perfect romantic-noir - a crime story wrapped up in a love story. The characters draw you in to their world and make you root for them, until a creeping sense of dread make you cower as you wonder where the fatal blow is going to come from. Well-crafted and chilling!'
-- S E Moorhead, author of Witness X

'The minute I started it I was absolutely hooked... This is a terrific debut and I for one cannot wait to see what this author comes up with next. It's an absolute 5 * read without a doubt if I could give it more I would.'
-- Jackie's Reading Corner
'It is a testimony to the writer's skill that one becomes lost in the emotion and pathos of the story to such an extent that it is easy to forget that the novel consists entirely of a monologue... A great debut novel that explores love, loss, friendship, motherhood and betrayal. It is engrossing throughout and ends with a shocking and unexpected twist. Enjoyable and highly recommended.'

'This'll keep you guessing.'
-- Peterborough Telegraph
'A dark tour de force.'
