This was a teeth clenching and on the edge of your seat type of read! I truly felt the main characters desperation through the ebbs and flows of this novel. A true eye opener and makes you question how often we are so close to someone in need of our help, just under our noses. A must read in my opinion for those seeking a chill up your spine.

Because I loved Will Dean's crime novels featuring the reporter Tuva Moodyson, I thought I would be likely to enjoy this "thriller". I was wrong. I hated Room by Emma Donoghue and this was similar but worse.

This is a raw people trafficking story, from inside the head of a young Vietnamese woman. Whilst I accept that there are stories that must be told to call out this abuse and cruelty, this is no "thriller". I hated it.

First 24 hour finish of the year, could easily have sat up all night and read it to be honest. My first Will Dean, won't be my last ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
