An elegant literary 1930s murder mystery.
Bookseller
This book is utterly pleasing from the first page to the last.
Sadie Jones, Guardian
Curtain Call goes from gripping you lightly to gripping you tightly. Both in its construction and its characters there is more going on beneath the surface than first appears.
Dominic Maxwell, The Times
Sharp period detail and clever pacing all add up to some rather excellent entertainment.
Anthony Cummins, Metro
Quirky, charming and full of atmosphere.
Good Housekeeping
Curtain Call is a beautifully written, absorbing work of historical fiction.
James Kidd, Independent
An engaging, slyly witty novel.
Geoffrey Wansell, Daily Mail
This is unputdownable.
Eithne Farry, Sunday Express
Night after night for a happy week, Quinn filled my dreams with glossy surfaces and hidden vices, silk stockings and champagne and intellectual snobberies and long walks home on hard London pavements. Anyone who paces the West End streets will find them more haunted after reading this book.
Libby Purves, New Statesman
One of those rare, enjoyable novels, which…you can read with impunity.
Susan Elkin, Stage
The period dialogue sparkles throughout, the author really bringing to life the smoky clubrooms, balls, and sundry backstage dramas – and the whole things slips down as easily as pre-dinner oysters at The Ivy.
Crack
This is an utterly delightful read, made to appear easy, effortless and brilliantly suspenseful, while never becoming predictable or cosy…. I can’t recommend this book highly enough.
Viv Groskop, Observer
It had me on the edge of my seat. The only disappointment…is when the curtain finally has to come down
Peter Stanford, Daily Telegraph (five stars)
An accomplished book that both enthralls and challenges the reader.
Julie Sayed, UK Press Syndication
An intricate and rewarding grown-up mystery.
Good Book Guide
This is an addictive read.
Victoria Clark, 4 stars, Lady
There couldn’t be a more perfect summer read than this elegant, atmospheric, suspenseful novel
John Koski, Mail on Sunday
Curtain Call is a poignant and gripping story about love and death in a society dancing towards the abyss
