MEDIA REVIEWS

A wonderfully creepy voice, macabre and blackly comic with a deeply unsettling and original hero. - Rosamund Lupton, author of 'Sister'

There is a delicious feeling of complicity in his misdemeanours: Heming gets in side your head as easily as he gets into his neighbours' houses... a superbly plotted and genuinely creepy novel. it deserves to be a bestseller. - Sunday Express

A brilliant read, almost unbearably tense at times. - Daily Mail

I loved it - gripping, sinister, original and brilliant! - Sophie Hannah, author of 'Did You See Melody?'

Very clever. A creepily alluring voice. - Julia Crouch

A wonderfully sinister fable of property and obsession. - Observer

Brims with wry wit and taut tension [and] delivers one surprise after another. - The New York Times

One to watch: an eerie page-turner. - Cathy Rentzenbrink, The Bookseller

The first-person portrayal of a truly cold-blooded protagonist is a hard thing to pull off, especially one whose outward appearance is so benign but Phil Hogan has created an antihero horrifically ruthless and disquieting. - Guardian

You'll definitely want to change your locks after reading this original and darkly funny novel that will send shivers down your spine. - Stylist
