‘Opening this book is like arming a bomb—the suspense is relentless
and the payoff is spectacular. Lead character Alice Vega is
sensational—I want to see lots more of her.’
*Lee Child, #1 Bestselling author of The Midnight Line*
‘Sensational…One of the book’s great pleasures is seeing Caplan and
Vega’s initially testy entanglement develop into a true
partnership. But there are many other aspects in Ms. Luna’s story
to savour as well...quick psychological revelations that pierce the
heart.’
*Wall Street Journal*
‘This tautly written thriller balances suspense with strong
characterisations and insightful reflections on motherhood. The
story unfolds quickly, and it will hold your attention until the
end.’
*Canberra Times*
‘[A] turbulent, razor-sharp book…this is a beautifully taut
firecracker of a read.’
*Readings*
‘An engrossing mystery bulging with so many memorable
characters…the writing is superb and the witty repartee between
Vega and Cap, even as they deal with society’s lowest, is a
delight. The ending is as shocking as it is unexpected. It’s a
truly gripping read.’
*Michael Rowland*
‘This was so good, unforgettable characters (Alice Vega is
brilliant), couldn’t put it down.’
*Chris Whitaker, author if Tall Oaks and All The Wicked Girls*
‘Loved Two Girls Down by Louisa Luna. Tense, measured, spare
writing, badass but relatable heroes, and a payoff that’s worth
every word of the wait. Whoever this Lee Child fella is on the
cover, he’s not wrong.’
*Rod Reynolds, author of Black Night Falling*
