Jackson , author of Forging A Nightmare "Clever, entertaining and imaginative, this was a wholly enjoyable read." - Gabriela Houston , author of Binding the Cuckoo , The Second Bell and The Bone Roots "In The Violently Departed , Sarah J Daley has constructed yet another world I want to visit populated by characters I'm not sure I should hug, shake, chat up, or flee. It's wonderfully confusing!" - R.W.W.

Greene , author of Mercury Retrograde "The reader is swept along by Daley's silky-smooth prose, and by the time I got to the breathless conclusion, I realized I'd been up all night." - Khan Wong , author of Circus Infinite and Down in the Sea of Angels "A barnstorming pandemonium of devils, bar-fights, and battle-nuns, but above all, a hell of a good time." - S K Horton , author of Gorse and Ragwort "With humour, pathos, and not a little arson, The Violently Departed is a spellbinding whodunnit filled with twists, turns, and infernal machinations." - MK Hardy, author of The Needfire "equal parts Sherlock Holmes and Constantine" - Dan Hanks , author of Swashbucklers and The Way Up Is Death.
