Sophie Hannahs Culver Valley Crime series has now been running for nearly a decade, and there is no discernable dip in her ability to take whats in the pop culture ether and turn it into a truly chilling domestic crime.

She is an exceptional storyteller this is exactly the sort of crime read can lead to missed tube stops and sleepless nights.
