Some Reviews 
You may know her only as the host of Channel 7s [Beyond] The Darklands, but get to know Leah Giarratano as an author and get ready to see many things a little differently
Wendy Beecroft, Lawyers Weekly 30/09/09

Giarratano... writes fine crime fiction, shocking and streetwise
Graeme Blundell, Weekend Australian 4/07/09

There are so many twists and turns, you’ll find yourself wondering how the author will tie it all up – but she does, and the reader is rewarded with one of the most satisfying conclusions of any book I’ve read.
Dani Soloman, Readings Carlton, Victoria 2/07/09

... an emotional and satisfying read. It has retained the essence of what made the first two books great: wonderfully drawn characters and an exquisite build-up of tension towards the climax. But it’s also taken me somewhere unexpected, given me new ideas to think about. A thoroughly great read that I’d recommend to both fans of the previous books and people new to the series.

Definitely one for those who like their crime novels tough and demanding
Peter Milne, Bookseller & Publisher, July 2009

With her third crime novel, Leah Giarratano just gets better and better, writing a tight, self-assured story that moves forward with great pace towards its denouement
