Media Reviews
A unique and disturbing summer read... Pierre Magnan is a complete original * Sunday Times *
The author has developed a cunning sleight-of-hand in thrusting a key clue under the reader's nose, yet disguising it. Veteran reader of crime fiction though I am, I didn't guess correctly. But the atmosphere is most to be relished. The lavishly complicated plot unfolds among spine-tingling descriptions of remote Provence -- Jane Jakeman * Independent *
From real to surreal...This quirky story of avarice and vengeance in rural France unfolds with all the charm of a slightly puzzling art house french movie -- Carla McKay * Daily Mail *
Crime fiction for those with a soul and a dark sense of humour * Independent on Sunday *
Magnan chronicles the hidden passions seething below the apparently idyllic surface of rural life [in a style] closer to Flaubert than Midsomer Murders * Daily Telegraph *
Magnan is a master storyteller... unmissable * Country Magazine *
