Compulsive reading
Grips the reader from the opening chapter
Dowd transforms disability into a gift
A wonderfully written mystery. It is funny, nerve-wracking and tender by turns, with plenty of pace and excitement as well as some moments for serious reflection
Everything about this book - the perky tone, the subtlety of characterisation and the cleverness of the plotting - is absolutely right
