New review: "4/5 - A deeply enjoyable mystery"
A new review giving Deep Shelter 4 out of 5 is up over on the Raging Biblioholism site:
"One of the more interesting successes of a novel can be when it teaches the reader something. Not in a pedantic way (not necessarily anyway) – but when the reader, intrigued by what they’ve been reading about, decides even to do a cursory Googling of a particular concept. For example: deep shelter sites in London. Oliver Harris pulls off this feat of melding a history lesson (about a relatively unknown thing) with a terrific crime/mystery plot and barely has to sacrifice any of the things that made the first Nick Belsey novel such a refreshing twist on the genre."
