One of the glories of the modern crime fiction field? The deliriously eccentric books by Christopher Fowler … this exuberantly written entry is as entertaining as any of its predecessors – Barry Forshaw * FINANCIAL TIMES *Clever, funny * THE SUN *
As always, Fowler does a masterly job of balancing humour with an ingeniously crafted plot. Devoted fans will be more than satisfied.

His deep reverence for - and knowledge of - the dark and lonely pathways trodden by centuries of Londoners is compelling … the dialogue sparkles and the jokes are laugh-out-loud.’ * FULLY BOOKED 2017 *There is always room for comic crime capers on the bookshelves of discerning readers, with Christopher Fowler’s books having long been on the forefront of the subgenre. Here’s to many more tales of our intrepid heroes as they solve seemingly impossible crimes in the most entertaining fashion. * CRIMINAL ELEMENT *A heady mixture combining a fast-paced plot with an agglomeration of oddballs that could have been taken from a Monty Python sketch … quirky, witty, wonderfully atmospheric and entertaining … absolutely brilliant.’ * REVIEWING THE EVIDENCE *About The Author
