Awards/获奖情况：
“這本小說驚險、刺激。從第一頁開始就讓你欲罷不能，直到結尾都讓你沉浸在緊張黑暗的氣氛中。文字優美，情節扣人心弦。我很喜歡。”——《不要相信任何人》的作者S.J.沃森。
“一個處在邊緣的女人，她犯了恐怖的罪過，還能用安定、居家的口吻處理犧牲者，真是讓人毛骨悚然。”——犯罪小說協會前主席N.J.庫伯
“這本精巧的處女作令人毛骨悚然，讓我們想起了約翰•福爾斯的《收藏家》。此類心理驚悚小說的精彩程度全取決於主角是否能言善辯。漢考克進行了適度的文學改造，足以讓我們明白，理解主角行為的邏輯。”——英國《衛報》蘿拉•威爾遜
"Deliciously dark and richly evocative. From the first page to its shocking finale it draws you into its world and won’t let go. Brilliantly written and totally gripping. I loved it"--SJ Watson, author of Before I Go To Sleep
