Critic reviews

"A born storyteller." ( Independent on Sunday)
"When it comes to writing page-turners that put a smile on your face and make you think, Keyes is in a class of her own." ( Daily Express)

I’m a 64 year man, former car racer and still a biker - just checked my shelves and Marion’s first seven books are there in a row.
This book is noticeably different from those wonderful, sometimes uneven, always deeply insightful and uniformly joyously mad tales.
For me this is the best, most mature piece of storytelling she has done - I had a little weep of joy as it ended.
