Críticas:
The shocking true story of the first British politician to stand trial for murder (Publisher's description)
This is a brilliant, sad, startling nonfiction novel about the Jeremy Thorpe murder-plot scandal. It is as funny and dark as anything by Evelyn Waugh or Jonathan Coe. And in these post Cyril Smith/Jimmy Saville days, it's so timely and relevant (Jon Ronson)
A terrific book and brilliantly researched. John Preston writes wonderful dead-pan prose and reveals the depths of depravity, the absurd power of snobbery and the old boy networks of the time (Claire Tomalin)
A brilliant exploration of an extraordinary political scandal... deeply researched, fluently written, and darkly comic, it reads like a thriller (Ben Macintyre)
I loved it; eccentric, dark, humane and English in the very best sense. It's going to be a sure fire-hit (Alain de Botton)
The most forensic, elegantly written, compelling account of one of the 20th century's great political scandals... a real page-turner' (Observer)
Very funny and endlessly extraordinary... makes for amazing reading (Catherine Shoard Guardian)
Impeccably researched... full of shocks, surprises and laugh-out-loud moments. Preston revives a forgotten era and delves into the personalities behind the headlines. (Times Crime Club)
Retold with masterful skill... It grips like a detective story, as compelling as BBC2's Life of Duty and every bit as dirty in what it exposes about the upper echelons of society in the Sixties and Seventies (Daily Mail Book of the Week)
This brilliant account made me feel I was hearing the tale for the first time ... Preston is an enthralling narrator (Mail on Sunday)
