Canter is a sharp writer with a wickedly dry wit. His precise style is a joy to read, combining riotous humour and moments of genuine pathos Metro An English comic novel which is elegantly written, civilised and genuinely funny, there are smiles on almost every page. It never tumbles into farce, for it is a comedy of character, observation and tone, rather than of incident...the triumph of the novel rests in Canter's ability to maintain an assured tone, to write in a manner which allows us to believe in his narrator while making us fully aware of his deficiencies...The comedy is rich -- Allan Massie Scotsman Brilliant, but for God's sake don't let this book fall into the hands of any women - if they find out what we're really like we'll never hear the end of it -- Charlie Higson Jon Canter projects a series of funny, sometimes hilarious, incidents in which the comedy is structured rather than slapstick, verging on the licentious but masterfully avoiding it TLS This is light reading but deceptively so, offering deliciously well observed vignettes of the top legal set' Time Out
