Reviews

A Bond-style romp. The thrills come thick and fast. Olivia is entirely successful as a heroine because she is witty, kind, entertaining, occasionally accident-prone, and has Bridgets warm intelligence and humorous insight in spades. -- Wendy Holden * Literary Review *
Shimmers and glares with wit, sophistication and humanity. Hurrah for Fielding! -- Helen Brown * Independent on Sunday *
