MEDIA REVIEWS
Everything I adoreMcPherson's wit has been compared to that of PG Wodehouse or Nancy Mitford,and her finely researched and choreographed narratives to the work of Agatha Christie...an absolute delight...these are the perfect reads for a night by the fire.An absolute must for anyone who likes cosy historical mysteries.Plenty of twists to keep you guessing.A deliriously fun tale,flawlessly written.The 1930s setting is skilfully evoked and there are shades of Agatha Christie in the plotting.
