Review
`a fast-moving, action tale of two girls intent on living life to the full. Libby and Becka stumble upon a set-up while squatting in a smart London flat. The owner, an up-and-coming banker, is missing. After eavesdropping on her answering machine, they realise they have taken on more than they bargained for . . . this is a story of friendship, bad money and lies. It made me laugh out loud, but it also reduced me to tears' --Sunday Express
`darkly comic and compassionate' --Mike Ripley, Daily Telegraph
`in a genre where we usually find polemic, melodrama or worthy-but-predictable tragedy, Sheridan has written a proper, character-driven novel instead ... a pessimistic exploration of how ordinary and even good people, once locked into a certain mind-set, can do blatantly evil things yet think them good and right... so well written you never notice the writing' --Glasgow Herald
