The cover illustration epitomises the dual personae of our first-person protagonist. Perfectly.
The concept of a new mother returning to work as an assassin is chilling and off-putting but Asia Mackay convincingly portrays both facets. I found this juxtaposition extremely uncomfortable and disturbing, which I wouldn't have experienced from the hand of a less talented writer.
