Sequels often disappoint, but here is one that's every bit as sharp, as surprising and as satisfying as the original
Guardian
Doyle's performance is, again, extraordinary for the richness of allusion, the facility with which history is dovetailed with invention, the energy of the prose
Daily Telegraph
Brilliantly imagined... Utterly magnificent, the finest work he has done
Sunday Tribune
Kicks off at a furious lick and just gets faster, hotter, louder. Hugely, unremittingly entertaining
Scotsman
The words crackle and fizz - a dazzling evocation of the Jazz Age... Magical and marvellous
Independent on Sunday
A virtuoso of the sentence...Doyle wonderfully recreates a world of flophouses and speakeasies, flappers and bootleggers
Guardian
An exciting, fast-moving narrative
Times Literary Supplement
