Case Histories

So well-written...Everyone who picks it up will feel compelled to follow it through to the last page.

Guardian

Her best book yet...a tragi-comedy for our times.'

Katie Owen, Sunday Telegraph

'A greedy feast of a story by a masterful author ... Will stay with you for a long time after you have finished reading it. '

Daily Express

'Civilised, funny, life-affirming and hugely enjoyable. I can't recall reading crime fiction quite like this before- honest, ironic, and cheerfully unselfconscious. I urge you to share my surprise and delight.'

Philip Oakes, Literary Review

One of the most brilliantly playful, witty and original writers we have.

Scotsman

'At heart a comic novelist, who explores the relationship between comedy and crime... In Case Histories, these skills have found their literary home.'

Heather O’Donoghue, Times Literary Supplement

'Sharp humour, together with a number of unexpected twists, make this a typically pacey and intelligent read.'

Daily Mail

Not just the best novel I have read this year...but the best mystery of the decade. There are actually four mysteries, nesting like Russian dolls, and when they begin to fit together, I defy any reader not to feel a combination of delight and amazement. Case Histories is the literary equivalent of a triple axel. I read it once for pleasure and then again just to see how it was done. This is the mind of book you shove in people's faces, saying 'You gotta read this!'

Stephen King, Entertainment Weekly
