‘Catherine Wheel doesn't shy away from the truth about coercive control - the all-consuming mundanity of it, the complex intertwining of reason and emotion, and the sometimes unhappy truths of desire. Liz Evans has written a taut, multi-layered psychological thriller that explores the aftermath of a life-changing relationship. Her characters are acutely drawn and Kate's cool, detached voice, tinged with vulnerability, will haunt you long after the final page.’ -- Melanie Joosten ‘Stifling psychological suspense develops into a broader conversation about toxic masculinity, societal expectations of women and the importance of true friendship. Recommend this to readers of intelligent feminist noir, such as Jacqueline Bublitz and Catherine Chidgey.’ * Books + Publishing *
