Description
'The next Single White Female or Damage' Glamour 'Arresting and haunting' Sunday Telegraph 'I was gripped by Briscoe's creepy tale of sexual obsession' Marie Claire 'Will keep you up at night' Erica Wagner, The Times 'Dark, modern, sexy stuff' Mail on Sunday Richard and Lelia's child is conceived in a moment of giggling chaos as they dress for a Christmas party.
