Rezension zu „Sweet Tooth “
"Riveting... Delicious... Gripping" Guardian "Sweet Tooth takes the expectations and tropes of the Cold War thriller and ratchets up the suspense, while turning it into something else... A well-crafted pleasure to read, its smooth prose and slippery intelligence sliding down like cream" -- Amanda Craig Independent "A thoroughly clever novel...a sublime novel about novels, about writing them and reading them and the spying that goes on in doing both...very impressive...rich and enjoyable" -- Lucy Kellaway Financial Times "Gloriously readable and, at times, wickedly funny" -- Arminta Wallace Irish Times "Playful, comic... This is a great big Russian doll of a novel, and in its construction - deft, tight, exhilaratingly immaculate - is a huge part of its pleasure...exerts a keen emotional pull" -- Julie Myerson Observer
