Critics Review
Sinisterly atmospheric, cunningly plotted … Shot through with lightning flashes of sardonic humour. - Glasgow Herald.
A master storyteller. - Independent.Varesi’s plotting is sound and his pacing good. Where he raises his game from the common crime ruck, however, is in his almost painterly evocation of a wretchedly dark atmosphere and character.
