Julie Myerson's novels are perfectly suited to long, drifting afternoons spent in empty houses with only the odd, atmospheric creak of pipe or groan of plank for company.

Her reputation is terrific, and she completely deserves it.

Myerson can write. Her dialogue has poise and precision, and she seldom pre-empts the reader. She also knows how to structure a narrative, so that details are revealed gradually and without prescription.

Myerson's cleverness lies in her supremely confident ability to play with structure, drip-feeding us snippets of memory yet never losing pace along the way.

One of Myerson's strength's lies in creating atmosphere... Myerson sees the pathos in small details.

What could simply have been a historical crime novel is, in Phillips’s hands, an addictive story with emotional depth.

Well-researched, gripping and a vivid re-creation of the time and place.

Phillips is not the first to write from the point of view of a murder victim…but she may be the first to write about [it] with such fineness and originality that the whole idea becomes overpoweringly attractive.

Quietly engrossing… Mesmerising.

It’s both vividly real and curiously fantastical.

[An] evocative novel.

This brilliant, beautiful novel shows us how the “miraculous” can shine.

The details are beautifully drawn

I was dazzled … Characterisation is as ever top notch … this is a marvel … everyone will appreciate the sheer grace and artistry of it.

Tigerman is a truly engaging and original book; for all the nail-biting tension, humour, superheroic deeds and a brilliant twist there is also a deep and honest heart to it ... This is easily one of the best books I've read this year.

With intelligent, witty writing you cannot help but warm to the unlikely and slightly hapless hero in Lester Ferris.

A virtuoso piece of entertainment which hurtles satisfyingly towards its conclusion after delivering a startling, didn’t-see-that-coming sucker-punch of a twist.

Funny, moving and thought-provoking

The key to Harkaway’s writing is the incredibly textured depth and imaginative characterisation. It is one of those books whose character are so rich that by the climax, you feel like they’ve penetrated your reality and you want to keep them close, even after the book is over.

Original and exciting, full of humanity and comedy, Tigerman by Nick Harkaway is a beautiful piece of work
