Trade Review

“The denoument will probably come as a surprise to nine readers out of ten”
New York Times

“SPARKLING CYANIDE is the one … which I should take with me to a desert island; for I find in it a seriousness and a psychological insight unparalleled in the author’s other works.’ Times Literary Supplement
