The Otago Daily Times: The Well is one of 2015's 'Must Read' books
21st December, 2015
New Zealand The Listener Magazine: "Well Wrought….a gripping debut novel….Althought the mystery surrounding Lucien's murder unfolds with real power and intensity, it is The Well's portrait of an increasingly intrusive and bureaucratic state that's both more plausible and truly chilling."

Sydney Morning Herald: "A suspenseful debut novel…..(which) deals with identity and the ability to keep ourselves together during a crisis. Told in time-shifts, it builds a portrait of a woman shaped by tragedy and extraordinary circumstance, and shows how mental fragility can be at the mercy of vulnerability."

Melbourne Review of Books: "Catherine Chanter has crafted a masterful moody mystery with The Well. This luscious rural property’s secrets slowly unfold as the shady dealings of the past are related to us……...The questions and the answers are strewn throughout. If you’re one of those who likes to skip to the end, good luck with that. You can’t cheat with this one. You’ll just have to read it properly like any well-behaved person.
