Review
Another Jackson Brodie thriller from the brilliant Kate Atkinson...the most enthralling to date. -- Mirror
Atkinson's pitch-perfect ear for dialogue is apparent...while there's plenty of blood and bitterness, redemption and resolve are well represented too. -- Independent
Faultless...plays with the tenets of the crime genre without ever sacrificing the essence of wit and nuance which make Atkinson's novels such jubilant reads. -- Scotland on Sunday
Funny, bracingly intelligent and delightfully prickly...Kate Atkinson is that rarest of beasts, a genuinely surprising novelist. -- Guardian
Gripping...Suspense is tinglingly maintained throughout...shot through with wry wit and gritty realism. -- Daily Express
Immaculately - even lovingly - paced...insightful, often funny, life-affirming. -- Sunday Telegraph
