'A deft, razor-sharp debut that effortlessly bestrides crime and comedy. Jonny Sweet is annoyingly talented.' ERIN KELLY

'Tom Ripley meets The Wych Elm in this creepy, acerbic, darkly funny thriller about loneliness, ambition and the lengths we go to to escape ourselves. Sweet is as interested in themes of love and revenge as he is in skewering the elite, in a novel whose dialogue is pin-sharp and whose pages ripple with tension. A hugely enjoyable and impressive debut.' EMMA STONEX

'Fresh, frightening, bittersweet and brutal. The Kellerby Code is wonderfully witty and delightfully dark.' CHRIS WHITAKER

'Rich and compelling with sly humour at every turn. A cracking debut.' HEATHER DARWENT

'This is a brilliantly crafted story. Jonny Sweet's wickedly forensic eye for detail puts you so close to the action, you feel you are in the room with the characters. On the one hand it's a story of regret and fear, but on the other it's a superb take down of privilege. A genuine late night, one more chapter, but I've got work in the morning book.' IAN MOORE

'The Kellerby Code is a witty Wodehousian bloodbath of a debut which toys with class, the thin veneer of 'good manners', and the brutality running underneath it all while still having a light touch.' CHARLOTTE VASSELL
