‘Love, desire, romance, passion, lust...and humour. Bittersweet, a treasure-trove collection.’

'Maguire writes with a rich vein of dark humour...imaginative insight and an intriguingly eccentric creativity. Her throwaway wit makes for compulsive reading.'

'The first ever collection of Scottish crime fiction, and not a blood-stained sgian-dubh in sight... dark, rich and original.’

'Susie Maguire’s is a voice that doesn’t resemble anyone else’s, and her vision of the world is clear, astringent, and generous.'

Philip Pullman

'A feast of comic writing, from Chic Murray to Irvine Welsh... relishing the ludicrous and absurd.'
