REVIEWS FOR HANNA JAMESON'S LONDON TRILOGY: 'Jameson's taut and spare narrative complements a gripping plot with unmistakable undertones of the legends of this genre, Chandler, Ellroy, Rankin' Red.

She's able to evoke a whole scene with a single detail, and she's got a gift for getting under the skin of her characters' The Book Bag. 'Caustic and energetic... Echoes of James Ellroy... Those Crazy Freeways is a literary road movie smelling of hot American tarmac and cheap motels' Guardian.
