Reviews
"Insightful . . . An elegy for an entire alienated generation."-- Marilyn Stasio , New York Times Book Review, "Darkly humorous . . . Shaw perfectly captures London in the swinging 60s . . . Breen and Tozer come across as fallible human beings . . . It's their relationship-both professional and personal-that makes this a winner."-- Publishers Weekly, A clever caper . . . Shaw has done a very good job indeed of weaving this yarn. . . . Everything here feels authentic. -- Brooke Wylie , Examiner.com|9780316246873|, "[Breen] is nervy, a true original in his line of work, altogether the most welcome new crime solver in British fiction. . . . You'll never read a better evocation of London circa 1968."-- Jack Batten , Toronto Star, "This critique of the Swinging Sixties is administered by a crackerjack storyteller who adroitly balances likable lead characters, bursts of intense action, and a great ear for office banter that will engage any reader who remembers the era, as well as anyone who has to google 'bell-bottoms.'"-- Library Journal (starred), A clever caper . . . Shaw has done a very good job indeed of weaving this yarn. . . . Everything here feels authentic.-- Brooke Wylie , Examiner.com|9780316246873|, "A must read! . . . Shaw's characters are flawed, but never dull. The story moves along at a good clip, with the action building toward a thrilling conclusion."-- Philip Zozzaro , San Francisco Book Review, "Shaw makes the gritty English capital come alive . . . [He] admirably depicts the steep uphill battle for women trying to make a career with the police in the '60s."-- Kirkus Reviews, "Shaw skillfully resurrects the 1960s bohemian art scene in London. . . . Shaw improves on this series' strong debut."-- Booklist

- v***v (2063)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseAlthough this book was not as described, with no picture of it in the listing, the seller communicated well and quickly gave me a full refund while letting me keep it. The minimal packaging left the book a bit vulnerable (typical for ThriftBooks), but it did arrive safely and timely. As usual, it’s hit or miss with this seller, but often times you can get great values, and their customer service is always very good. Many other sellers with millions of transactions don’t even communicate.
- 2***j (113)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseI've ordered several items from this vendor now and they've always been what they were advertised as. This was no exception. Both discs were in great shape as well as their jewel cases. Delivery is good, packaging is simple but effective for what you're paying and I haven't had any get damaged. Will keep buying from this vendor because of the results so far and good prices, too.
