I loved this elegant and enthralling novel, with its clever shades of All About Eve and A Star is BornBeneath the surface glamour of early-Sixties showbiz, the devastating personal histories of Delia, Lily and Frank continue to haunt and torment them. Who, if any, will triumph? A spellbinding read * Louise Candlish *

A nuanced and moving portrait of ambition, manipulation, and the emotional havoc created by those unable to escape the past, set against the heady, soon-to-be-lost glamour of early 1960s showbiz * Laura Wilson *
Tell Me How It Ends is a gorgeously written novel which evokes the atmosphere and glamour of old Hollywood while including utterly modern themes. Best enjoyed with a dry martini and some jazz on the (vinyl) record player * Sinead Crowley *
With clear homages to film noir, this intriguing read will grip you from the start * Woman & Home *
Takes elements of classic mystery novels with the glamour and pizzazz of celebrity and turns both on their heads. Captivating * Woman's Way *
With obvious debts to both A Star is Born and All About Eve, this is the full-on book equivalent of a classic Hollywood "woman's picture" * Sunday Times Crime Club *
Clever, generous and imaginative, this is an excellent crime novel * Literary Review *
