Critics Review

Fizzles, crackles and sparkles

Praise for the Todes of Tode Hall series:
Fans of PG Wodehouse and Agatha Christie should bag this madcap comedy whodunnitOutrageous and over-the-top, a perfect antidote to all real-life craziness going on * Daily Mail *
It’s sharp, funny and just the right amount of farcical - the best sort of murder mystery * Tatler *
I couldn’t put it down – Santa Montefiore
What a triumph! It gave me enormous pleasure to read, plus of course a few appropriate shudders. [In the Crypt] lightens the darkness in a way that is both dark and light – Antonia Fraser
An irresistible champagne bubble of pleasure and laughter – Rachel Johnson
Agatha Christie but with a bit of Julian Fellowes’s Snobs and Downtown Abbey thrown in A masterclass in how to write a rollicking good read – Sarah Vine
A jolly farce that never takes itself too seriously * Red Magazine *
Fizzles, crackles and sparkles – Elizabeth Buchan
An irresistible, high-camp crime caper - deliciously entertaining – Andrew Wilson
A perfect antidote to wintry gloom * The Literary Review *
A country-house murder mystery with nods to Agatha Christie and Evelyn Waugh … a delightful treat * The Lady *
An effervescent madcap whodunnit * Metro *
A work of sublime silliness. The knife-edge between crime and comedy is a tricky one, but Daisy Waugh negotiates it magnificently … a delightful book, witty, pacy and beautifully written – Simon Brett
This is a marvellous rollicking read with brilliantly drawn characters. I finished it within 24 hours – Mary Killen
She’s spot on; she’s skewered her targets brilliantly – Imogen Edwards-Jones
