From the Back Cover
"Romance, glamour, seismic sex and delightful comedy...this book is a slice of heaven: pure, blissful escapism."--Kate Saunders, New Statesman
"Has all the usual Cooper ingredients, fantastically attractive male and female characters, lots of extra-marital affairs and dollops of good humour, but there is a difference in this novel as it is also a murder mystery."--Linda Roberts, Daily Mail
"I drew back in some alarm when told on its jacket that Score! was wildly funny, unashamedly romantic, terrifyingly creepy. I pressed bravely on nonetheless, and found with surprise that Score! is indeed all these things and even more"--John Bayley, The Spectator
