Critics Review

Witty, wicked and whip-smart - Bad Deeds is the perfect page turner for those who like their thillers with propulsive plots, rollicking action, and a serving of bone-dry satire. An absolute hoot! * Ross Montgomery *
Bad Deeds is a smart, page-turning romp that sees the ripples from one tiny not-quite-innocent action reach tidal wave proportions for its lively anti-hero. Funny, thoughtful and intriguing, this is crime writing with an edge of biting wit that sets Andrew Hunter Murray in a class of his own * Janice Hallett *
A brilliant and wickedly entertaining murder mystery by a brilliant and wickedly entertaining author * Emma Freud *
Andrew Hunter Murray is always a joy to read - like having your funniest, wittiest friend to hand whenever you’re in the mood for a great story * Cariad Lloyd *
Slow Horses meets The Gentleman! A fabulous cast of characters (honorary mention for the magnificently-named Poppy Philbrick and her pyjama line - chef’s kiss), twisty and turny and also very dryly funny. I so so loved this book. * Sophia Money Coutts *
