About this title

Review:

'among the most distinctive and darkly engaging on the current crime fiction scene' Good Book Guide. (Good Book Guide)

'It's a great story, very much of the now. I laughed, I was close to tears and towards the end I couldn't turn the pages fast enough in my dash to find out what happened next' Bookbag. (Bookbag)

'laugh-out loud funny, but the humour did not obscure some very serious points' Evidence. (Evidence)

'More frenetic than the Alexander McCall Smith books, and with an off-the-centre sense of humour, this was an enjoyable book' EuroCrime. (EuroCrime)

'This is a must-read for anyone looking to escape to more exotic climes, anyone looking for smart, entertaining mysteries and, above all, anyone looking for a fast, fun, engaging read' Reader Dad. (Reader Dad)
