As the atmosphere darkens, the plot twists and turns, leaving Kate stranded and struggling to know who to believe and to maintain her grip on reality. Despite the gravity of the situation, one thing Kate doesn't lose is her humour. Some of the one liners had me smiling as I read. Kit Kat or Bounty anyone? The portrayal of isolation is perfectly executed, culminating in a shocking, visceral ending that lingers long after the final page. Publication date 1 Feb My …
