5.0 out of 5 stars
A wonderful, funny, subversive book!, Jun 21 2002
This review is from: Cordial and Corrosive (Paperback)
A wonderful book, in which Sophie Hannah really comes into her own following the marvellous, knowing comedy of her first novel. This book is incredibly clever, without detracting from the sheer fun of reading it. Hannah has taken the basic premise of many a murder-mystery whodunnit, yet the book is all about coming out on top on the shortlist for a job - a cunningly clever blend, which also gives a great insight into the stuffy backbiting of the Oxbridge academic world. Hannah has a wonderful way of writing which brings you in and out of the story with the characters, making this an enjoyable roller-coaster-ride of a read. Most highly recommended!!
