"Murder has never been this funny. A spoof of all crime thrillers ... it is good clean mirth all the way. The quick, smart, extremely well timed dialogue of Jack Sharkey comes through loud and clear [with] never a dull moment.: - Times
"Delightful ... constant humour ... A good mixture of Agatha Christie, Monty Python and Abbot and Costello!" - Canon, Memphis
"Really a minor gem ... witty and sophisticated." - Newcastle Morning Herald
