Fair Play

A fiendishly designed, intricately layered, psychologically astute tale, and so elegantly written too. I''ve never read anything like it . . . a story of striking originality. I am full of admiration.

Report

Louise Hegarty's genre-splicing debut is a treat - clever, confident, and always surprising, a mystery story that ingeniously escapes the locked room of the genre to take on the biggest questions of life and death Paul Murray, author of The Bee Sting
