    “Brilliant, gorgeously written tale about the Gold Coast of NZ. Also very long - will last you the flight. (PS: there's also a TV show version from the BBC, but I did not fully finish it, and you know what they say about book>TV).”

    “2013 booker prize winner, intricately plotted murder mystery - gets better and better as you go until you’re fully consumed. When you finish it (all 848 pages), you’ll want to read it again…”
