A propos du livre

Quatrième de couverture

Praise for Christopher Fowler's Bryant & May mysteries:

'Quirky, touching, profound and utterly original.'

Peter James

'Slow burning, adroitly plotted, with a distinct atmosphere . . . goes against the grain of most detective fiction and is the better for it.'

Daily Telegraph

'One of the quirkiest and most ingenious pleasures to be found in the genre: atmospheric, sardonically funny and craftily suspenseful.'

amazon.co.uk

'Marvellous . . . these are really, really great reads.'

BBC Radio 4's 'Front Row'

'Invests the traditions of the Golden Age of detective fiction with a tongue-in-cheek post-modernism.'

Evening Standard

'Page-turning . . . bear all the hallmarks of the classic British mystery.'

Guardian

'An imaginative fun house . . . life always seems livelier whenever Arthur Bryant and John May are on the case.'

New York Times Book Review

'Fowler, like his crime-solvers, is dead-pan, sly and always unexpectedly inventive.'

Entertainment Weekly
