What an enjoyable and original book. Very entertaining.
This is the story of a family reunion, that is very much a mystery story in the golden age style. The book is written in a self-referential way, as a chatty commentary to the reader. It is full of little teasers of action to come, a drip feeding of information that keeps the reader hooked. There are so many twists and surprises, there is never a dull moment. All in all this is a very cleverly constructed book that was great fun to read.

I absolutely love this from start to finish. Dark, atmospheric, and funny in places, it is probably one of the most original books I’ve read this year. I would highly recommend it to anyone who loves a good murder mystery.

Sharp, Slick, Original….
Ah, where should one start with this. Sharp, funny, acidic, intriguing, wholly original and slickly done. All of that and way, way more. With more than a nod to the Golden Age of crime fiction and the making of a classic mystery combined with more than a touch of pulp, this unique novel is both wholly immersive and hugely enjoyable. A sprightly and entertaining tale of family shenanigans mostly gone pear shaped. Whodunnit? Just fabulous. Bravo!
