Recenzii

The witty and action-packed Psycho by the Sea carries readers along in surprising fits and starts, like a bumper-car ride. Elaborate schemes go awry, architectural follies self-destruct and the intelligence of several characters increases ever so slightly. This is a book in which there is candor (if not honor) among thieves.
Another delectable story of Brighton cock and bull ... Fortunately, in her fourth crime novel Lynne Truss has not changed her winning recipe of nuttiness, nostalgia and lots of cake. While between the covers of her books, the world seems a better place
You can't help but laugh and commiserate with the police and villains alike and the writing is very, very good
Truss's love of language and word play shine from the page . An awful lot of fun
The fourth in Truss's Constable Twitten series is a knickerbocker glorious romp, an effortless blend of merriment, mischief and the macabre, rich in nostalgia for the days of donkey rides and Punch and Judy shows.
Glorious ... The fun is in Truss's keen ear for dialogue, original comic characters and affectionate(ish) recreation of a seaside resort in its slightly sleazy heyday
More Marx Brothers than Agatha Christie, this is crime fiction turned on its head - a giddy spell of sheer delight
Lynne Truss has great affection for her characters, who fully inhabit 1950s Brighton ... Enormous fun
