This collection… showcases both Hill’s virtuosity and his continual experimentation with the genre … All are explored in Hill’s trademark playful but sharply observed style as he conjures up multifaceted characters with economical ease … these stories will make a perfect Christmas present for mystery fiction aficionados’ Guardian
