Reviews

[Darren · Rating 4 out of 5]

I don't know why I liked this book of scandal and gentle political intrigue so much, but I did. The author's tone is light and funny, even when telling of murder, political kidnaping, and rampant adultery - and it somehow works.

[Artie LeBlanc · Rating 4 out of 5]

Although set in the early 80's, this book still sparkles. The London that is depicted still exists, and the character flaws are timeless.
The only reason that it's not a five-star review is that it is fractionally too long - 200 pages would have been better than the actual 233pp.
Recommended.

[Graham Robertson · Rating 5 out of 5]

An excellent novel from A.N. Wilson. I really enjoyed it.

[Tom · Rating 4 out of 5]

What shines through most, as with all of A.N. Wilson’s novels, is his extraordinarily graceful writing style. You just glide smoothly along as he weaves his story. Delightfully enjoyable.

[Lysergius · Rating 3 out of 5]

The protagonists in a sex scandal that reaches to the heights of the British government are boorish Derek Blore, a rising British politician, Bernadette, a lovable prostitute, and Blore's saintly but indiscreet wife.
