Reviews of THE THIRD PIG DETECTIVE AGENCY
‘This is undoubtedly the most whimsical hardboiled detective novel ever written, and it's utterly delightful.’ MATT REES
‘The Third Pig Detective Agency is a wonderful pastiche of noir-ish detective stories like The Maltese Falcon. The design is an absolute gem, with coffee stains on some pages and a genuinely vintage looking cover.’ www.culch.ie
‘A cross between Chinatown and all the fairy tales you've ever read.’ LIMERICK LEADER
A crackling detective story!
