[Vargas is] one of the most exciting, addictive and inventive purveyor of classy crime fiction currently pounding the publishing beat... It it a highly entertaining policier but more importantly, as with Conan Doyle, the wacky world Vargas shapes is oddly reassuring: a great remedy to a grey day
Christian House, Indepedent on Sunday
An Uncertain Place is full of wit and invention, with a plot that satisfies both intellect and emotion

A thrilling read
Sunday Times
As ever, Vargas's characters inhabit a world where reason and myth collide, and the result is a thrilling read

Observer
Gripping
Guardian
One of today's few truly original writers of crime fiction: disturbing, unruly, droll and poetic

Only one's dreams after a champagne-fuelled night at the Follies Bergere have quite the same nightmarish-but-entertaining quality as Vargas's delightful crime novels
Jake Kerridge, Daily Telegraph
This is crime fiction writing at its most intriguing
Marie Claire
Wonderfully intricate and gothic
Jane Jakeman, Independent
