Reviews / Votes
Beauman's writing is dazzlingly inventive. - The TimesA singular and almost recklessly gifted, young writer. - Time
Seriously intelligent and seriously funny at the same time. - Daily Telegraph
Undoubtedly a writer of prodigious talent - Financial Times
Unhinged, over-whelming and brilliant ... Beauman has taste: his antennae are acutely tuned to the stylish and resonant. - Independent
A thoroughly enjoyable, playful read . . . The narrative hooks immediately, as does the language, which is often delightfully inventive. There are also surprisingly tender scenes that add depth and humour.
. . . Beauman has created a truly modern thriller that is as addictive as it is inventive. - The List
Beauman writes with panache. - Daily Mail
Sexy and urgent - Literary Review
