Reviews
O'Briens evocation of the hot vibrant and seedy French port in which everyone seems to be a either a cop or a criminal, and sometimes both, is as masterly as Ian Rankin's depiction of Edinburgh
An atmospheric and enthralling debut
Murder, mayhem and the seedy side of Marseilles make for a mesmerising mix
`Well-drawn, strongly flavoured setting in Marseilles...with grisly forensics offering vital clues as to the nature of the crime while skilfully concealing the whodunit...Rich, spicy and served up with unmistakeable relish` Literary Review
Exotic and different...This debut novel is exceedingly well written and entertaining
