Interviews:

• “People say, “I laughed so hard, but then I felt bad about laughing!” That’s mostly what I hear, but then you go somewhere like France, and you ask, “Did you find it funny?” And they say, “No, it’s just dark.” It’s really awkward” – In Houston Chronicle 
• “Like most books in this genre, if you suspend your disbelief heading in, Cleave will make sure you walk away thoroughly entertained” – On The Real Book Spy

Reviews:

• “Starting with a macabre setup, Cleave keeps upping the stakes till any scrap of plausibility is left far behind and only an increasingly effective series of hair-raising thrills remains” – In Kirkus Reviews
• “Few characters are wholly innocent, and the road to hell acquires a few more paving stones by the end of this impressive crime thriller” – In Publishers Weekly
