Alice in Jeopardy: A novel - Tapa dura

Críticas

"McBain might be nearly 80, but he's right at the top of the premier league of crime fiction." (DAILY MIRROR, 25 Feb)

"A gripping thriller." (PETERBOROUGH EVENING TELEGRAPH, 26 Feb)

"McBain's snappy dialogue and touches of humour show that he is still a master storyteller." (Susanna Yager SUNDAY TELEGRAPH, 27 March)

"McBain writes with the style, the strength and the freshness of someone half his age... he provides a tense and gripping tale, packed with twists and turns, and leading to an unexpected ending." (THE GLASGOW HERALD, 23 April)

"A follow-through thriller, plotted by a master, with three or four storylines -- comic and menacing -- which twine on to an ending which snaps like a rat trap. Evidence, should you need it, that McBain remains brilliantly on form. What a talent! What a man!" (Philip Oakes LITERARY REVIEW, June 2005)

"A sly teaser set in the Florida Keys that keeps the reader guessing as well as on the edge of the seat. McBain throws in switchback plot twists and false leads like the consummate pro he is... a terrific page-turner." (TRIBUNE, 13 May)
