Now Mimi's back as a ghost, and she seems to be suggesting the way to redemption for Morris. And if anybody should get in his charitable way, then so much the worse for them.

Mimi's Ghost Zusammenfassung

Mimi's Ghost Tim Parks

Morris can't get over Mimi. But then he should have thought of that before he murdered her and married her sister. Now Mimi's back, as a ghost, and she seems to be suggesting the way to redemption for Morris. He must help the poor immigrants of Verona; but if anybody should get in his charitable way then so much the worse for them...

Mimi's Ghost Bewertungen

A twisted whodunit...hilarious * Financial Times *
Parks writes with a brutal, snapping wit * Sunday Times *
A triumph of the darkly-comic-thriller-and-something-more-besides genre * Daily Telegraph *
A sort of twisted whodunnit... The readability of the book comes from Parks's wonderful and audacious juggling of farcical situations and the way in which Morris's earnest attempts to build a more cultured and just world lead him further and further into slaughter. Hilarious. * Financial Times *
Tarantino meets Peter Mayle * Independent on Sunday *
