Medical knowledge twines the plot together like poison ivy, and I was gripped right up to the last minute’ * Joanna Lumley *‘Moving, outrageous and outrageously funny’ * Dawn French *‘Wild and funny and filthy and hilarious with a great big beating heart. A masterpiece’ * Russell T Davies *‘A work of fiendishly plotted genius: hilarious, macabre and heartrending in equal measure’ * Lucy Foley *‘Viciously funny - I’m still laughing’ * Ian Rankin *‘Very funny, very rude and very moving - a wonderful read’ * Kate Mosse *‘A thrilling, twisting mystery that kept me guessing until the very end.
