Westport

The second novel by James Comey… drips with authenticity and quality writing. A gripping read * Daily Telegraph, 5* review *The former director of the FBI confirms with this second novel that he is an expert at twisty crime mysteries… Riveting and authentic, it reads like Grisham * Daily Mail *Excels in detailing the legal process’s mechanics… good at the human stuff too, conjuring vivid characters and dialogue. Comey cannily taps into the vogue for flaying the super-rich, making his hedgie suspects as nonchalantly nasty as Agatha Christie’s toffs * The Times *[A] crowd-pleasing blend of financial thriller and Agatha Christie-esque whodunit. A third entry in the series would be welcome * Publishers Weekly *Comey, a former director of the FBI, once again deftly uses his insider knowledge of the US legal and financial system to deliver an informed, fast-paced story. * Financial Times *[A] clever, twisting Scott Turow/John Grisham-style thriller * The Sun *Westport grips from the first as Comey delves into the secretive, seductive and savage world of hedge funds in his latest legal thriller * Daily Express *[A] fast and entertaining thriller * Crime Time FM *Gripping, slick and authentic, Westport is a compulsive crime thriller that puts the reader behind closed doors and inside the heads of heroes and monsters. I loved it. * Helen Fields *
