Product Description
Review
"- 'High comedy quotient, splendid scams... but [don't] fail to notice what a seriously good writer Ripley is.' - Literary Review - 'Exuberant, laugh-aloud fun and cleverness... but there is in addition, an edge and an anger.' - Marcel Berlins, The Times - 'I never read Ripley on trains, planes or buses. He makes me laugh and it annoys the other passengers.' - Minette Walters
Time Out
' Like fine malt whisky, Angel is high proof and totally addictive'

...are the Angel series books so difficult to get hold of? Why aren't they at least a TV series? I guess with the glut of comedy detectives we've had over the last decade, Angel didn't find a place, but he should.
The characters are painted so perfectly, you can at least imagine one or two of our talented British actors playing them. Mike Ripley shows no bias towards any one of them either - they are shown warts and all, including the hero, and refreshingly, including his girlfriend - this, coming from a girl who's sick of blatant feminism and false 'girl power' portrayed in so many novels, films, the media in general in fact.
So impressed was I, I was willing to buy a few of the Angel series, only to find they are more readily available in the US, rather than the UK, yet this is funnier than most British films. The comic timing is just brilliant. Why don't we have any respect for home grown talent?

It would have been fun to take issue with Mike's description of typical archaeologists, but he's just too accurate. This is a great read, and absolutely un-put-downable, not just because I was trying to recognise myself or my colleagues but because the twists kept me guessing to the end. Mr Pointy liked it too...
