'‘Wonderfully irreverent, warm and funny, with twists galore.’ * Stuart MacBride * Denzil Meyrick, revelling in fond and foolish nostalgia, has once again produced a tale of first-class nonsense. * The Times * Unabashed comedy…Not many new novels have me laughing aloud these days, but this one did, time and again. * Yorkshire Life * Darkly comic and engaging, this is a Christmas cracker you simply won’t want to put down. * Woman's Weekly * A laugh-out-loud must for the Christmas stocking for any mystery fan in your life. * Irish Independent * Grasby and Juggers are a tremendous pairing who display Denzil Meyrick’s comic talents to the full in this immensely enjoyable Christmas caper set in a wintry Yorkshire seaside town. Scratching below the surface, there is again much to be found that reflects not only on the 1950s, but on our own time. Highly recommended. * S. J. MacLean * Outlandish and unpredictable, yet anyone who knows the Yorkshire coast will find it hilarious and all too plausible. * Antony Johnston * I loved the humour and ambiance of this book. Definitely one to read over the festive holidays. * Faith Martin * An authentic vintage crime laced with dark humour. Frank Grasby is an instant classic detective. Unmissable. * Michael Wood * Fun, funny, gory, and great. * Daily Express *
