While "Penance" often veers into overheated territory, [Kate] O'Riordan knows her audience and sticks to the tried-and-true thriller formula - adding some nice touches along the way. Go to Full Review Dorothy Rabinowitz Wall Street Journal 05/14/2020
A stubbornly working engine drives this tale, thanks to which it becomes, in its own quietly suffocating way, drama that sustains suspense. Go to Full Review James Jackson The Times (UK) 03/23/2020
3/5

3/5
