Smoke and Mirrors by Elly Griffiths
Brighton, 1950s, mid-winter. Two missing children are found buried under snow in this chilling new case for DI Stephens and Max Mephisto.
An excellent whodunnit, matched by the terrific down-at-heel atmosphere of postwar Brighton * The Times *
Griffiths evokes with skill the seedy allure of the provincial theatre and the drabness of a Britain that is still rationed * Sunday Times *
Mixes cosiness and sharpness in a way that recalls the best of Agatha Christie and has a feel for showfolk worthy of Ngaio Marsh * Sunday Express *
Original, lively and gripping * Independent (on The Zig Zag Girl) *
