Editorial Reviews

Review

"- '... like fine malt whisky, Angel is high proof and totally addictive' - Jim Driver, Time Out - 'Three cheers for an exemplary hero who has never made an excuse and left. Ripley on rich and ribald form.' - Philip Oakes, Literary Review - 'Ripley is everything I hate in other writers. His plotting, characterisation, dialogue and scene setting are superb, and he is laugh aloud funny... I am insanely jealous.' - Rodney Wingfield - 'High comedy quotient, splendid scams... but [don't] fail to notice what a seriously good writer Ripley is.' - Literary Review - 'Exuberant, laugh-aloud fun and cleverness... but there is in addition, an edge and an anger.' - Marcel Berlins, The Times --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
