Reviews of The Devil’s Staircase

'Ramps up both the comedy and the horror to almost epic proportions, managing to combine a hilarious coming-of-age romance with extremely violent serial-killing nastiness, all in just over 200 blisteringly readable pages' – Sunday Herald; 'Lovely, sparse, elegant writing, highly original plot and ever-building tension make this book irresistable. There's sex, drugs and rock n' roll, a whiff of true evil and a scream-out-loud finale. Wow!' – Australian Women's Weekly
