Media Reviews
This Grace Jones lookalike with a degree in French is a splendid creation * Sunday Telegraph *
Charlotte Carter has what impresses me more than just about anything in a crime writer: the practised discipline needed to craft functional, human sentences which flow one into the next without embellishment or posturing * Crime Time *
Rhode Island Red is elegiac and musical - especially if you prefer bebop to hip-hop. Nan is a wonderful character: a dreamer, head in the clouds, feet on the ceiling. Charlotte Carter has managed to be funky and dreamy at the same time * Liza Cody *
