Captivating, serpentine and affecting, Nicola Maye Goldberg’s Nothing Can Hurt You subverts the tropes of the “dead girl” genre in ways that impart its female characters with a dark majesty and mystery all their own, Gripping, sharp and sultry – I couldn't put it down, A superbly unsettling account of the aftermath of a murder ... For a perceptive and moving account of people trying to process a senseless act, look no further, An utterly compulsive read ... A breath of fresh air in the realm of the thriller, Fascinating ... The book is less about the murder itself than about its aftermath, the long tendrils of guilt, sadness, anger and confusion that stretch out from a single act, wrapping themselves around everyone they touch
