Claire DeWitt and the Bohemian Highway by Sara Gran

Claire DeWitt and the Bohemian Highway by Sara Gran

When Paul Casablancas, Claire DeWitt's musician ex-boyfriend, is found dead in his home in San Francisco's Mission District, the police are convinced it's a simple robbery.But, as Claire knows, nothing is ever simple.

Sara Gran is a truly unique voice and Claire DeWitt is a detective like no otherMARK BILLINGHAM If Haruki Murakami wrote The Wire, it would come out something like Sara Gran; cryptic, dreamy, funny and gritty as hell. She's a phenomenal talent. Lauren Beukes, author of The Shining Girls It's a fascinating read [and] Claire De Witt is the most interesting private eye I've encountered since Stieg Larsson's Lisbeth Salander. Washington Post Confirms [Sara Gran] as one of the freshest voices in modern crime fiction. There is not a hint of a formula in this super-charged sequel that is, for me, better than the original ... Gran has created a female sleuth to cherish. Daily Mail It works brilliantly ... Claire DeWitt is a wonderfully engaging, potentially delusional protagonist ... If I were to follow my gut instinct I'd say that Gran has a best-seller on her hands. Independent on Sunday Gran abandons any pretence at a traditional crime-fiction narrative, instead bending the genre's tropes out of shape as the charmingly idiosyncratic DeWitt stumbles along to the beat of a drum only she can hear. Irish Times Highly recommended. LIBRAY JOURNAL, starred review Claire DeWitt and the Bohemian Highway is that rare thing - a second entry in a series that's even more stellar than the first. Bold, inventive, fiercely unique. If I ever go missing, send for Claire DeWitt - no other PI can compare. CHRIS EWAN Gran is whip-smart, a hell of a writer, and a genius with twists and turns. Largeheartedboy An acerbic and smart slice of modern noir the rival of any other novel out there ... Gran is a terrific, committed and diverse writer ... She's hit on a formula that will surely bring a wider audience to her subtle, superbly-crafted prose. Big Issue Gran has created an unforgettable character that readers will surely follow. Bookpage Why? Why is Sara Gran not the best selling author, bar none? Claire DeWitt is my favourite PI ... If this doesn't win The Shamus for best novel, then The Edgar for best novel, I truly have lost my touch for what is truly awesome in mystery. Thank you Sara for the alchemy of Claire. KEN BRUEN
