Deborah Moggach is a delight to read-her characters are wonderfully alive, and their stories grip us unequivocally... the novel is enjoyable from first to last

It is characterisation at which Moggach excels. Her gift is to perceive and describe our confusions about life... and to write with feeling about the continual quest for love and happiness that is part of the human condition

A neat plot... [with] dark flashes of hubris and nemesis

Moggach's subject is the rickety edifice we call the family, which she comes at armed with both a wrecking ball and an insatiable curiosity to note the particular way it collapses

She is a terrific plotter

draws national intelligence...reality-like fiction

An entertaining read with a distinctive voice - and her most ambitious work yet

I fell in love with it. It was dark and dangerous and incredibly thrilling with tons of action, more intrigue than I knew what to do with, surprises around every corner, and psychological and theological undertones.

The Thirteenth Sacrifice is suspenseful and creepy - I enjoyed it.

A terrific thriller.

The characters are well-rounded and interesting…the imagery beautifully described… I enjoyed The 13th Sacrifice immensely, and will definitely be following the Witch Hunt saga with interest.

For Christmas, I will give to dinner party conversationalists:... Tom Wolfe’s Back to Blood.

What really drives all this is Wolfe’s extraordinary style.

As broad and panoramic as ever.

There are some dazzling satirical riffs and politically incorrect laughs.

Wolfe’s prose is as punchy as ever.

Energetically set against the deco licentiousness of Florida’s steamiest party capital.

Class, family, wealth and corruption are all themes in this examination of life in Miami.

[Tells] us about the way we live now... enjoyable.

Classic Wolfe. A delight

Epic, hectic, satirical… It’s scathing, funny, and has great set-piece scenes

Contemporary Miami gets the Wolfe treatment in a grand, sweeping satire on race, class, lust and immigration
