Trade ReviewHighly entertaining * Guardian Books of the Year *
Gloriously readable and, at times, wickedly funny * Irish Times *
Sweet Tooth takes the expectations and tropes of the Cold War thriller and ratchets up the suspense, while turning it into something else... A well-crafted pleasure to read, its smooth prose and slippery intelligence sliding down like cream * Independent *
Sublime...impressive...rich and enjoyable * Financial Times *
Riveting... Delicious... Gripping * Guardian *
