Critics Review

Priest writes with charm, grace, and a wistful individuality * Guardian *Priest’s mesmeric power is formidable * Independent *A novelist of distinction * Sunday Times *Priest is a powerful and underappreciated writer * Daily Telegraph *Simultaneously familiar and weird, grippy and slippy, The Evidence is a tour de force of intimate alienation. * Daily Mail *The Evidence is an essential missive from Priest’s “Dream Archipelago”…Years hence we will look back at this loose collection and be amazed. * The Times *
