Editorial Reviews
Review
'Perhaps Edwards' greatest achievement in this excellent thriller is to sustain an almost novel-length red herring which, in a story of continual twists, isn't giving too much away' The Sunday Times; 2 'Well written, well paced and wryly amusing...I haven't read a book with two more entertaining twists in the tail in years' Gerard Siggins, Sunday Tribune; 3 'There's a dizzying cast of characters here...some excellent dialogue, a wonderful description of a typical solicitor's archives and a good account of what it takes to become a middle-aged belly dancer' Frances Fyfield, New Law Journal"
