Gripping and multi-layered * Kristina Thornton * This is Charlotte Duckworth at her peak: an expertly crafted, searingly insightful character study that unravels its secrets as elegantly as a fine silk scarf. With an assured hand, Duckworth takes a scalpel to society, deftly peeling back the layers to reveal what drives people to do despicable things, and in doing so finds humanity in the darkest of places. Connie Cross is at once brittle and fragile, vulnerable and diabolical; an utterly captivating anti heroine. * Lizzy Barber *
