PRAISE FOR CHARLOTTE DUCKWORTH: 'Smart, compulsively readable and with an ending you will not see coming'
A real thrill ride
A brilliant thriller
A taut, chilling read with a killer twist at the end
A chilling, compulsive dive into the mind of a killer - and the woman determined to uncover the truth. Connie is a haunting, intricately drawn portrait of trauma and female rage. I devoured it. Duckworth has never been better
