Reviews

A knockabout farce of mayhem and murder … A feast of black humour
*Daily Mail*

A welcome second outing ... Lynne Truss is clearly having a great time — and so does the reader. There is a smile, giggle or guffaw on every page
*The Times*

[An] entertaining new crime series … Truss’s affection for a rollicking, twisty caper has transferred to the page with ease … There’s some fine storytelling on display here
*Observer*

Funny, clever, charming, imaginative, nostalgic and gently satirical
*The Times*

A farce that gathers hilarious pace with every page … More Marx Brothers than Agatha Christie, this is crime fiction turned on its head – a giddy spell of sheer delight
*Daily Mail*

With plenty of brightly coloured bucket-and-spadery, including ghost trains and Punch and Judy and variety acts, this clever, tongue-in-cheek escapade is a perfect summer read
*Guardian*

It takes a writer of Lynne Truss’s wit and intelligence ... to take on both the cosy and comic fields, shaking them up to forge something fresh and beguiling ... Delightfully witty
*i*
