Thanks to Hodder & Stoughton for the eARC of this book. Strickland is going to be a new must-read author for me, I think.

To avoid giving too much detail I'll use a hypothetical example: Suppose you're watching a suspense film and the heroine is up against the wall with killers all around her. They can use all sorts of little cheats and suspend the laws of physics for stylistic effect as much as they want, but when they use those same cheats to resolve the main mystery of the plot, then that's just too stupid.

Miranda narrates the story.įor all her school life Miranda has been friends with Sal, after a confrontation with Marcus, Sal becomes aloof which bemuses Miranda. ![]() Miranda and her relationships are the gist of the novel, but they don’t seem to go anywhere with the only drama being near the end of the book. I wonder how a child of twelve would see it, as it is for this age group that the novel is written.
