Recenzii

Wonderfully written and deliciously moreish
An escapist beach read to savour
Thoroughly fabulous
A frothy soufflé of a tale in which Agatha Christie and Nancy Mitford are given a 1980s spin .
Terrific fun and really clever!
A total hoot ... Easily the best thing she has ever written
A masterpiece: never has intelligence been so wickedly dark, on-point and outright funny
The wild and hysterical adventures of crime solving Nancy and Ursula turned loose on Oxford University. Plum Sykes knows her world, skewers it, and serves it up as murder. Delicious
A riot and very page turning and written with terrific panache
Bright and funny, Bergdorf Blondes is haute couture chick lit
Plum Sykes channels Nancy Mitford and Holly Golightly with great charm and sweetness
Sykes has a distinctive, wily and well-deployed comic voice . Into the blender go Bridget Jones, Anita Loos, Sex and the City and Clueless; out comes a diabolically amusing concoction
Perfectly pitched - playful, funny, satirical and sweet. I laughed out loud many times
Sparkling, bliss, glitteringly honest . I haven't had so much fun since rereading the Mitford novels
Highly entertaining and intelligent . whips along at an exhilarating speed
Savagely funny
Plum Sykes dishes the dirt on upper crust girls in this murder mystery comedy . Sykes has a ball recreating the strict hierarchy of social types - and the 1980s fashions - in this delightful, daft-as-a-brush-caper as effervescent as the champagne everyone in the novel keeps necking
wickedly funny ... Grab this for a spot of unashamed escapism by the pool
This smart, stylish and fun read is the perfect companion on any holiday. Sykes studied at Oxford and is now an editor at American Vogue, which plays beautifully into this comic murder mystery set in the dreaming spires of the Eighties and populated by aristocrats throwing endless parties . Beautifully written and deliciously moreish from start to finish
This comic murder-mystery is like Nancy Drew for grown-ups. The vibe is akin to a less angst-ridden Brideshead Revisited meets a young Downton Abbey, before embarking upon a whimsical, Pimm's-fuelled adventure . Fun and frothy, it is packed with laugh-out-loud moments and wry, whip smart observation
She's back: the author of Bergdorf Blondes has written the first in a series of murder mysteries set at Oxford University during the Eighties . This jolly book has everything: a beguiling heroine, dishy dons, the champagne set and even spiky footnotes. Yes, footnotes
Gently mocking its cast of stock Oxford types, Party Girls is a fun and easy-read romp that has two university freshers trying to discover whodunnit after the dead body of the glamorous Lady India Brattenbury is discovered in the room of dishy don Dr Dave
