'This is an absorbing and deftly woven tale, which impressively captures the spirit of the early 1920s. It is also a murder mystery, a social history – and a cracking good read." '

“ My ideal book for total immersion on the beach is Katharine McMahon's The Crimson Rooms (Phoenix), the story of a young female lawyer caught up in her first murder case in the aftermath of the first world war. It is one of those books so intensely alive in the past that it makes the world you actually live in feel flimsy and thin. McMahon combines a thriller writer's grip, pace and punch with the true novelist's depth and warmth of feeling.."
