What a lovely start to what I hope will be a long-running series!-Paul Magrs, author of ExchangeDeath at the Dress Rehearsal is a real tootsy-pop of a mystery thriller, with an irresistible conceit and enough twists and turns to bamboozle the most conscientious of armchair sleuths.

Steve Cole, author of the Young Bond seriesHolmes and Watson by way of Arthur Lowe and John Le Mesurier; a wonderfully mismatched duo who you can't help falling in love with.-Amy Walker, Trans-ScribeNot many authors can write a book where each character has a unique voice. In most cases the inner monologues are much the same, the authorial voice thinly veiled. But not many authors are Stuart Douglas.

Actors as unalike in their dispositions as their methods.-Elizabeth Lefebvre, Strange & Random Happenstance
