Critics Review
‘Baragwanath writes superior literary detective fiction with a faultless command of plotting and structure.’ * Age *
‘Tom Baragwanath is an excellent writer… Once again, he has produced a powerful, action-packed tale…’ * The Times (UK) *
‘Wonderful, emotional storytelling with a fine protagonist—an Antipodean Miss Marple, but fiercer—makes this too good to miss.’ * Daily Mail UK *
‘Baragwanath’s follow-up to his award-winning debut Paper Cage probes crime, community and corruption in small-town New Zealand. Quietly devastating, with a strong sense of place, this is noir rooted in realism.’ * I Paper *
‘Lucky Thing is another resonant and engaging work of crime fiction… cements Baragwanath as a crime writer to watch.’ * Pile by the Bed *
