" Rezension(2): "Sunday Mirror, Book of the Week:A slickly plotted, whip smart thriller - genuinely chilling and totally compulsive " Rezension(3): "Metro, Book of the Week: Thrilling, gripping & well-written " Rezension(4): "Independent:If the premise might be the sort that Agatha Christie would have toyed with had she been a 21st-century graduate , Ware's analysis of the power-games some women revel in –,and the toxicity in the undertow of some female friendships –,is more reminiscent of Sophie Hannah, Christobel Kent, or even Gillian Flynn and Harriet Lane " Rezension(5): "Sunday Express:[A] chilling psychological thriller...a tense, claustrophobic marriage of secrets, tequila shots and shotguns" Rezension(6): "〈a href=http://www.publishersweekly.com target=blank〉〈img src=https://images.contentreserve.com/pw_logo.png alt=Publisher's Weekly border=0 /〉〈/a〉: June 29, 2015 At the start of Ware’s solid but somewhat derivative first novel, a psychological thriller, crime writer Leonora Shaw leads a solitary life in London but receives an invitation to Northumberland to celebrate the impending marriage of Clare Cavendish, a friend she hasn’t seen in 10 years. Nora and Clare were once inseparable, but something drove them apart. Nora and her sarcastic school chum, Nina da Souza, another invitee, decide to make the trip to the remote cottage known as the Glass House, the site of the hen party weekend. Flashbacks show Nora in the hospital, where she’s recovering from an accident that she can’t quite recall and wonders whose blood is on her hands. From the catty conversations at the party, secrets from Nora and Clare’s past emerge, particularly relating to Nora’s former love, James Cooper. Ware does a competent job ratcheting up the suspense, but the revelations aren’t as exciting as the buildup. Agent: Eve White, Eve White Literary Agency (U.K.). "
