  77. I

Thanks also to forensic psychologist Emma Stevenson, who helped me better understand the mind of a psychopath. Your insight was much appreciated and any mistakes I have made are mine and mine alone.

I owe a great debt of gratitude to The Penguin Random House Writers’ Academy, not only for introducing me to my wonderful editor Lizzy Goudsmit, but also for the inspiration and insight offered on their Constructing a Novel course. In particular I need to thank my tutor Barbara Henderson, whose enthusiasm and advice were invaluable.

Thanks to the whole team at Transworld for welcoming me into their world and making my story the best it can be. I will be forever grateful to Lizzy for spotting the potential in my idea and championing it with such passion. You are a superstar. Thanks also to Kate Samano for honing my words to perfection and to Joshua Crosley for negotiating those wonderful translation rights.

Finally, a huge thank-you to my beautiful Ella – you never fail to brighten Mummy’s day.
