Review
"I was so impressed with the poetic imagery of this beautiful work, I wanted to press it into everyone's hands... (a) unique and highly recommended mystery." (DAILY EXPRESS)
"Beautifully written, this is the thinking person's Batman, a Gotham City of brilliant insights, as visual and necromantic as a Fellini film, just this side of lunacy, but at a high poetic pitch." (MAIL ON SUNDAY)
"Strange and beautiful...quite poetic. It was a very visual experience - it was like watching a surrealistic film - enigmatic and disturbing." (GARRY KILWORTH)
"Veronica is a hip, sexy, trendy fantasy novel... Mr Christopher is a superbly lyrical and descriptive writer." (NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW)
"Veronica is written in beautifully simple poetic prose...A joy from first page to last" (New Statesman & Society)
