Reviews

O'Briens evocation of the hot vibrant and seedy French port in which everyone seems to be a either a cop or a criminal, and sometimes both, is as masterly as Ian Rankin's depiction of Edinburgh
Daily Mail
An atmospheric and enthralling debut
Lancashire Evening Post
Murder, mayhem and the seedy side of Marseilles make for a mesmerising mix
Northern Echo
`Well-drawn, strongly flavoured setting in Marseilles...with grisly forensics offering vital clues as to the nature of the crime while skilfully concealing the whodunit...Rich, spicy and served up with unmistakeable relish` Literary Review
Exotic and different...This debut novel is exceedingly well written and entertaining
Huddersfield Daily Examiner
