MEDIA REVIEWS
The Face on the Cutting-Room Floor is a weird,funny,perverse exercise in literary messing-about. It's a murder mystery that pulls the rug from under the reader,then pulls the floor from under the rug,then questions whether the floor was even there. It's a great,and baffling,experience,and the less you know about it beforehand,the better.A dazzling...unrepeatable box of tricks...The detective story to end all detective stories
