The Spanish police,meanwhile,are asking awkward questions about Jimmy's death...

MEDIA REVIEWS
'I loved it. JP Delaney has a gift for the unputdownable story... one twist in particular left me open-mouthed. Brilliant stuff. This'll be in a lot of holiday luggage come the summer'- Mick Herron
'A characteristically unsettling thriller with an unreliable narrator who reels you in and a twist that made me pivot. With its sultry Mallorcan setting and du Maurier allusions,this is a summer read which exudes menace and is crying out for a TV adaptation'- Sarah Vaughan
'Charming and engrossing from the outset,but with a creeping and deeply unsettling sense of menace. I loved the Du Maurier vibes'- Sharon Bolton
'The tension ratchets up to boiling point in this sun-soaked sizzler about a man struggling to do what's right when everything around him is very wrong'- Victoria Selman
'Captivating,disturbing,and shocking... I enjoyed every minute of it'- Samantha Downing
