It is a long time since I have read a debut as impressive as Laura
McHugh's The Weight of Blood. It is a chilling portrait of a small
town in the Ozarks where violent men are protected and young women
vanish.
*The Sunday Times*
One of the best thrillers of the summer and one of the best books

memorable, deftly drawn character, The Weight of Blood is an
unmissable debut.
