Praise for Andrew Humphrey

‘Humphrey is strongest developing difficult, close to fracturing relationships, usually through taut, terse conversations where so much is left unsaid’
The Third Alternative

‘Humphrey is adept at portraying people on the verge of crumbling’
Front and Centre Magazine

‘Terrific dialogue and characterisation…an astonishingly good writer who never gets any jagged edges except when he intends to’
Mystery Scene

‘Humphrey gives his readers sharp glimpses into the souls of his characters’
100 Magazine

‘Humphrey shows us a world we would rather not see, and does so with an unflinchingly honest eye for the seedier, cynical aspects of lives wrecked by misfortune and apathy and personal inability to affect circumstance’
