MEDIA REVIEWS
'The witty and action-packed Psycho by the Sea carries readers along in surprising fits and starts,like a bumper-car ride. Elaborate schemes go awry,architectural follies self-destruct and the intelligence of several characters increases ever so slightly. This is a book in which there is candor (if not honor) among thieves.'- Wall Street Journal
'Another delectable story of Brighton cock and bull... fortunately,in her fourth crime novel Lynne Truss has not changed her winning recipe of nuttiness,nostalgia and lots of cake. While between the covers of her books,the world seems a better place'-The Times
'You can't help but laugh and commiserate with the police and villains alike and the writing is very,very good'- Belfast Telegraph
