A perfect literary treat. - Red A great pinch of humour and a sprinkling of absurdity, McPherson beautifully evokes the feelings and images of post-war Edinburgh. - The Wee Review With sharp wit and an Agatha Christie-style ability to create a lively cast of characters, this is an intriguing historical mystery. - Women's Weekly
