Like a number of reviewers I guessed the greater part of the solution to this mystery very early on and I’m not sure what kept me reading, other than the pure delight of being part of the detection process. Not thrilling, or atmospheric, but fun, non ...more | |

This is one of the most good natured and good hearted books I’ve read in a long time. Picking it up at a Meet the Author event I started reading it and barely put it down till I finished it. Short it might be, but it reminds you that a life of love a ...more | |

Well of course, if you want to criticise this book for melodrama or for having a cast of fairly unpleasant characters you can easily justify your view. I also think the eventual explanation is a bit far fetched. But it is a story I’d like to see dram ...more | |

“I don't advise a haircut, man. All hairdressers are in the employment of the government. Hairs are your aerials. They pick up signals from the cosmos, and transmit them directly into the brain. This is the reason bald-headed men are uptight.”
