Why read it?

1 author picked Bitter Orange as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

This book is eerie and unnerving, from its first few pages to the alarming revelations that ensue. I started reading this late one night and couldn’t resist the urge to stay up and finish it! Claire Fuller’s detailed prose will entice, grip, and haunt you well beyond the final scene. 

From Danielle's list on psychological suspense and thrillers.
