Recenzii

"A tense thriller founded on conveying psychology, Malarkey is a compelling British version of Robert Cormier's US classic, The Chocolate War" -- Julia Eccleshare Guardian 20030708 "Ingenious and exciting" -- Kit Spring Observer 20030527 "Clever, cool, suspenseful" -- Nicolette Jones The Sunday Times 20030714 "A gripping and dangerous read that stays in the mind for its chilling reality, the power of the story and the quality of the writing" -- Wendy Cooling The Bookseller 20030321 "Don't miss this! It's Keith Gray's best novel to date. Opening with a breathless bag chase, it doesn't let up the momentum for a second" -- Michael Thorn Achuka 20030708
