Praise for Ann Granger's previous crime novels: 'Characterisation, as ever with Granger, is sharp and astringent'
'The plot is neat and ingenious, the characters rounded and touchingly credible, and the writing of this darkly humorous but humane and generous novel fluent, supple and a pleasure to read'
'The reader can expect a treat. Lively, different and fun'
'Ann Granger's skill with character together with her sprightly writing make the most of the story....she is on to another winner'
'One of crime fiction's most engaging heroines'
