APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
We fell deep into the spell of Nicholas Searle’s debut, which unfolds with the patience and grace of an old-fashioned suspense novel like The Talented Mr Ripley. Senior citizen Roy is clearly a con man. When he latches on to the elegant, lonely Betty, we’re sure nothing good will come of it. The fun and thrills come from Searle’s fantastic prose, the inspired flashes of Roy’s past and ruthless mindset, and the lingering sense that Betty isn't quite the innocent we’ve been led to believe.
