Taking the opportunity of the Times removing paywall for the weekend to share its Very Nice review of my book, which you can buy below, should you so choose. thetimes.com/culture/books/… amazon.co.uk/dp/1800752369

Another brilliant review of DEATH AT THE DRESS REHEARSAL! 'I need this infusion of nostalgic crime solving because no book has so encapsulated the Sundays of my childhood ... as Death at the Dress Rehearsal. ' …-and-random-happenstance.blogspot.com/2024/06/book-r… Titan Books Rufus Purdy
