I feel like the last guest to show up, but now I’m here I’m glad I made it. I practically ate this book in 24 hours (which with two young kids is no mean feat!).

It ticked every box I possess when it comes to what I like about crime fiction. It zipped along at a magnificent pace, with a sparkling succinctness that urged me to keep picking it up for just a few more pages (then a few more pages, and so on…)

It was moody, revelatory, funny, surprising, exciting and bursting with life. Catching up on what I’ve missed is now an utmost priority – the postman will be busy with book shaped parcels in the coming days…
