“historical fiction with contemporary issues woven into the story. It fills me with sadness that it is one of those topics that hasn’t really made enough progress, despite this tale going back over half a century. Domestic violence and coercive control are still grossly misunderstood… the author puts more of a sinister mark on it by giving it a bit of a Dr. Crippen vibe – making this more of a crime read, but then this author does like to mix it up a little.”
