The Executor

A dark and compelling tale of what we leave behind us when we die

Alex Preston, The Guardian

Many pleasures ... Matt's domestic scenes confirm how good Morrison is on family life

James Walton, The Times

A clever, neatly constructed mystery -- and the poems are the best thing about it

Anthony Gardner, The Mail on Sunday

A novel of multi-level brilliance, which offers a smart, funny mystery built around ethical concerns over privacy and biography, while casting a beady eye on workplace politics and male midlife crises

Anthony Cummins, Daily Mail

Generously and skilfully written ... The unravelling of the novel’s moral perplexity is both ingenious and persuasive… A pleasing and very satisfying novel.

Allan Massie, The Scotsman

A cunning literary novel… Seriously probing about poetry, its origins and repercussions.

David Grylls, The Sunday Times

Entertaining, well written and acute ... Morrison has an observant eye

Piers Paul Read, The Tablet

Morrison's prose is easy, stylish ... it is often elegant in the way it depicts marriage, secrecy, and the fragile relationships between friends and spouses

Irish Times

Adept, attentive and occasionally beautiful ... When the poetry starts to break through, the book comes alive – reverberatingly, ravishingly so. Everything is illuminated... enter the revivifying excitements of adultery, incest, euthanasia; sex and lust and love; dreams, mortality and death... exquisitely metered, intimate and yet profound, glimmeringly intelligent, slyly sensual ... A worthwhile, interesting and impressive achievement

Edward Docx, The Guardian

A compelling story about the ties that bind us and the power of the written word.

Malcolm Forbes, Literary Review

A stylist and satirical take on Kindle-era publishing, and is also a timely interrogation on the pertinence of "rampant masculinity" in contemporary fiction.

Kitty Grady, Financial Times
