RIPLEY
MIKE RIPLEY is the author of the award-winning Angel series
of comedy thrillers set mainly in Essex and Londons East End.
In Double Take he moves up west big time, to Londons
wild west frontier around Heathrow airport and with a new multi-cultural
cast of characters all determined to make crime pay. It has been said
that Mike Ripley paints a picture of London Dickens would recognise
and apart from being acknowledged as one of Britains funniest crime
writers, he is also a respected critic of crime fiction, reviewing for
the Daily Telegraph, The Times, The Good Book Guide and the Birmingham
Post.
Mike Ripley has twice won the Crime Writers' Association Last Laugh Dagger
for best humourous crime novel.
High comedy
quotient, splendid scams
but dont fail to notice what a seriously
good writer Ripley is Phillip Oakes, Literary Review
I
never read Ripley on trains, planes or buses. He makes me laugh and it
annoys the other passengers Minette Walters
The
Outrageous rip-roaring Mr Ripley is an abiding delight
