Review:
Lighter in tone than Fleming s (James Bond) novels, the Modesty stories are especially rich in characterisation, with the sparring between Modesty and Willie Garvin always a highlight... No self-respecting Modesty fan should be without it. --Choice
Six stories (that)... are complete and complex adventures in themselves... Modesty is still perfect, still beautiful, still iconic... If you have not discovered Modesty, either because she passed you by or, let s face it, because you were too young, then do get hold of these. --RandomJottings
These books are the finest escapist thrillers ever written. --The Times
