Description
‘Seductive, decadent, cruel and utterly thrilling – just like Horace Lavelle himself. This is The Talented Mr Ripley for the twenty-first century.’ Emma Flint, author of Little Deaths
‘Wildly entertaining and painfully heartbreaking … Neil Blackmore writes with a fizzy wit that bounds his characters off the page.’ Ben Aldridge
Beautiful, charismatic, seductive, Lavelle delights in skewering the pretensions and prejudices of their milieu.
He consumes Benjamin’s every thought. Love can transform a person. Can it save them?

I flew through this book. It was an effortless read despite touching on fairly weighty themes of philosophy, class warfare, and self determination.
I enjoyed the vignettes and the journey rather more than the final destination. I felt that the eventual denouement was a tad overblown.
However, I did enjoy reading it. It was witty, and well drawn.
