Murder, ambition and dangerous love in London's Theatreland.
Anthony Quinn was born in Liverpool in 1964. From 1998 to 2013 he was the film critic for the Independent. He is the author of six novels- The Rescue Man, which won the 2009 Authors' Club Best First Novel Award; Half of the Human Race; The Streets, which was shortlisted for the 2013 Walter Scott Prize; Curtain Call, which was chosen for Waterstones and Mail on Sunday Book Clubs; Freya, a Radio 2 Book Club choice, and Eureka.
This is an utterly delightful read, made to appear easy, effortless
and brilliantly suspenseful, while never becoming predictable or
cosy…. I can’t recommend this book highly enough.
*Observer*
It had me on the edge of my seat. The only disappointment…is when
the curtain finally has to come down
*Daily Telegraph (five stars)*
Night after night for a happy week, Quinn filled my dreams with
glossy surfaces and hidden vices, silk stockings and champagne and
intellectual snobberies and long walks home on hard London
pavements. Anyone who paces the West End streets will find them
more haunted after reading this book.
*New Statesman*
Curtain Call is a beautifully written, absorbing work of historical
fiction.
*Independent*
Curtain Call goes from gripping you lightly to gripping you
tightly. Both in its construction and its characters there is more
going on beneath the surface than first appears.
*The Times*
