Review
The Wimbledon Poisoner is a marvelously funny book. * Daily Mail * I laughed aloud sufficiently often over this book that it was necessary to sit in a room on my own to read it. * The Spectator * A very good read, with a few comic set pieces that are comparable to Wodehouse * New Statesman * A brilliantly witty writer. * The Sunday Times * Nigel Williams's comedy of suburban manners is very, very funny; the writing is sprightly, the caricatures spot on. * The Times *
