    • Extraordinary...heart-stopping...[an] ingenious thriller - Mail on Sunday

    • I became insanely gripped ... The word compelling is used lightly of mystery and crime novels this one will define it for you - Daily Mail

    • In a LOVELY BONES-style conceit ... Lupton works her theme of the corrosive effects of ambition with insight and gusto - Guardian

    • The smartly crafted characters create an addictive whodunit ... [it] flits between a fast-paced criminal investigation and the beautifully written musings of Grace as she hears that she and Jenny will probably never wake up making this an unmissable read - Heat

    • Loved THE TIME TRAVELLER'S WIFE? Well this is even better - Company

    • Compulsive reading right from the start ... Pacy and compelling - She

    • As with Lupton's debut SISTER, AFTERWARDS has bestseller written all over it. She has found a way of combining searing emotion with page-turning plotting - Daily Mirror
