Review
"As gripping as a thriller and endlessly thought-provoking... Surprising, spellbinding, witty and utterly original" -- Chris Dolan * Sunday Herald * "Lazarus is Dead is a delightful falsehood - a brilliant novel and a shining example of the gospel untruth" -- Alfred Hickling * Guardian * "This clever and original book keeps the reader guessing until the death - and beyond " * Financial Times * "An idiosyncratic delight...Yet again, Beard shows himself to be one of our most inventive novelists" -- Max Davidson * Mail on Sunday * "A brilliant reimagining of the Lazarus story...wry, incisive and surprisingly moving (Favourite Books of 2011)" * Irish Times *
