Sleazy, sexy and highly entertaining... - By: Ansley Vaughan, 18 Nov 2006
This is the book I wish I'd written myself. It's sleazy & highly explicit; not for the faint-hearted. But it summons up brilliantly the atmosphere of the Halls & of the queer subculture of the thirties, (not that I remember!)

Paul Lemoyne is a pretty unpleasant character, but like his few real friends, you can't quite abandon him, & despite yourself, you care what happens to him. I suppose the fact that he knows he's behaving badly is a considerable redeeming feature. The end suggests that this may be the first of a series -- I would guess a trilogy -- a prospect which makes me very happy.

The book is writtenin spare prose & with a lightness of touch which makes it a pleasure to read.
