Bruen's spare prose perfectly suits this bleakly mesmerizing tale * Irish Independent *
Bruen has a surreal mind and an unusual writing style of short, sharp, often one-word sentencesIt shouldn't work, but it does, delightfully * The Times Books of the Year *
Ken Bruen is a total one-off... In a hard-boiled piece of noir, Ken's unique style probably shouldn't work, yet it does, leavened with Irish whimsy and bits of homespun philosophy... Wonderful stuff, shoe-horning new vitality into an established sub-genre' * Shots Magazine *
This always sparky book is an excellent read * Galway Advertiser *
Bruen's visceral writing and anger brings a fierce, almost surreal intensity to this mad story of a heretical book that turns up in Galway * Metro *
Bruen's trademark machine-gun prose often sends word flying across the page, but it's in keeping with the poetic meditations that occupy Taylor when he's not actively fighting for his life * Connaught Telegraph *
An easy page-turning read where Bruen asks little of his reader and throws plenty of bones in terms of one-liners, lightly sketched characters and, far and away his strongest suit, dialogue * Irish Examiner *
