"An extraordinary tour de force" (Mail on Sunday)
"I ended up missing my stop to finish it" (Daily Telegraph)
"Classic Kennedy... extraordinarily compelling... Kennedy handles a morally complex, yet also surprisingly satisfying, ending with consummate skill, proving what a master he is" (Daily Mirror)
