‘Wolfe is so refreshing. A female protagonist in crime fiction who isn’t a victim, isn’t an unreliable narrator (whilst still remaining intriguingly flawed) and who knows how to defend herself, she is certainly going to shake up the genre.’
‘Without giving away the plot, the central mystery and its many offshoots in the novel certainly had me ‘devouring’ the pages of this exciting, original and utterly captivating new release from L A Larkin and I cannot recommend it enough!’
‘The rawness and the futility of the Afghan war zone is perfectly evoked in the novel’s opening sequence and the reader is drawn into the world of desperation and fear that war has created. Through the eyes of Olivia Wolfe – set to be the star of a series of novels, which I can hardly wait for – we see a world almost devoid of humanity struggling to support those who do survive. We see the pointlessness and pain of the war and then we leave it, somehow wiser, for the icy isolation of Antarctica where the novel’s central mystery unfolds.’
