Critics Review
‘An outstanding first novel by a new Canadian author we should hear more of’
‘To work, satire has to be subtle … Elliott Hall does this wonderfully’ - The Times
‘Political satires set in chilling dystopian futures don’t usually call for sequels … Hall’s pizzazz ensures you want to know if Felix makes it’ - Daily TelegraphPraise for The First Stone: A knockout debut with the confidence to establish its world gradually … Strange s sardonic wit makes him the perfect guide to his troublingly familiar landscape - Guardian This debut crime novel is best read under a sweltering sun … against a deftly drawn backdrop, it is ingenious and witty - Daily Telegraph Strange is a very sympathetic hero, who does what private eyes do best by stirring the hornets nest (and these are some pretty whacky hornets) and a fabulous sense of pace is engendered from page one. This is a very impressive first thriller indeed. More are promised; or if they re not, should be - Shots The prose style is smooth and entertaining … Hall s world-building remains excellent throughout, creating a truly unsettling future America - SFX Magazine A sharp and original debut novel - Tangled Web It s a really good, traditional private eye story in its own right, coupled with a subtle and believable picture of a fundamentalist state - Morning StarAbout The Author
