Rezensionen

A one-sitting read ... Without a wasted word, Dahl effortlessly recreates privileged New York life and its dark underside. An absolutely superb novel by an exceptionally talented writer.

Propulsive storytelling at its best. With complex characters and a deft understanding of social dynamics, the novel also captures, in a powerful and nuanced way, the rich and complicated now. Highly recommended.

Timely, taut, and gripping--an absolute must-read.

A deftly written slice of psychological crime.

What starts as a story about rape and victim blaming turns into an adventure thriller . . . and a great reckoning with the moment we find ourselves in.

A dark thriller about the meaning of vengeance, justice and survival.

A compulsively readable, morally complex tale.

A riveting tale of abuse and revenge that explores the dark underside of New York's privileged class, this book had me hooked from the very first page.

This contemporary morality tale perfectly evokes the dangers of modern life . . . A stunning essay for our #MeToo generation, it is both shocking and gripping.

A wickedly intense thriller that never lets up.

Captivating and engrossing.essential reading.

A dark gripping study of vengeance and of what it means to live in a woman's body.

A searing, contemporary twist on the classic revenge and redemption story.

Julia Dahl is one of the most vibrant voices in crime fiction . . . I couldn't stop thinking about this haunting, propulsive novel, and it will stick with me for a long, long time.
