Review:
From the Publisher:
‘A jolly romp through the world of London publishing.’ Independent
‘Funny and scary by turns; always sharp.’ Daily Telegraph
‘The writing is tough and colourful, the scene setting excellent.’ Times Literary Supplement
Laughing to Death
Bestselling author, Penny Varvides is dead, and Lindsay Gordon’s friendship with Penny means that she feels compelled to find out who did it. The bizarre method of killing replicates a murder in Penny’s latest book which only a handful of people have read... Val McDermid not only writes excellent, entertaining, suspenseful crime, she adds humour to the equation in a genre where laughs are often missing.
