MEDIA REVIEWS
'Fresh,funny,flawless. The best crime novel you'll read this year.'- Clare Mackintosh
'Bauer's judgement of tone is perfect throughout a captivating whodunnit that's often hilarious...beady-eyed yet tender,it resembles a collaboration between Agatha Christie and Muriel Spark.'- The Sunday Times
'A cunningly plotted thriller with more than a dash of Joe Orton-like black comedy. Bauer confirms her status as one of our most consistently inventive crime novelists.'- The Mail on Sunday
'This intriguing,tender,funny and sometimes (in the best possible way) farcical novel about life and death is a sheer delight.'- The Guardian
