Mimi's Ghost Reviews

A twisted whodunit...hilarious * Financial Times *
Parks writes with a brutal, snapping wit * Sunday Times *
A triumph of the darkly-comic-thriller-and-something-more-besides genre * Daily Telegraph *
A sort of twisted whodunnit... The readability of the book comes from Parks's wonderful and audacious juggling of farcical situations and the way in which Morris's earnest attempts to build a more cultured and just world lead him further and further into slaughter. Hilarious. * Financial Times *
Tarantino meets Peter Mayle * Independent on Sunday *
