Praise for Pascal Garnier
'A most wonderfully wry noir murder mystery you'll not soon forgot.
It's the sleeper of the year' Durango Herald
'Garnier's sly, cynical take on life after retirement will strike a
chord with readers of every age' Publishers Weekly
'Ultimately a very dark novel, but a very impressive one...' The
Complete Review
'Dark enough to sink the hook deep into fans of noir' Publishers
Weekly
'Pascal Garnier produces a story of infinite grace -- a compact
piece filled with quirky imagery, plot and characters'
Iloveamysterynewsletter.com
'Garnier's take on the frailty of life has a bracing originality'
Sunday Times
'Bleak, often funny, and never predictable' The Guardian
'A brilliant exercise in grim and gripping irony, it makes you grin
as well as wince' The Sunday Telegraph
'For those with a taste for Georges Simenon or Patricia Highsmith,
Garnier's recently translated oeuvre will strike a chord ... While
this is an undeniably steely work, his translator Melanie Florence
does justice to the author's occasional outbreaks of dark humour
that suddenly pierce through the clouds of encroaching existential
gloom' The Independent
'This is tough, bloody stuff, but put together with a cunning
intelligence' The Sunday Times
