"Fusing the black humor of Shallow Grave with the sassy observations of Sex in the City, this is an unexpected treat." --The Mirror

"A comedy, a very black one about flat-hunting in New York where anyone with an apartment to rent could easily be a conman or woman or, if you are really unlucky, a serial killer. Gruesome and hilarious in turns, the book not only shows off the author's acute observational powers but proves she has superb timing when it comes to telling a joke, and where the targets are the media or the American obsession with health, beauty and fitness, she takes no prisoners." --Birmingham Post

Cyrus is a millionaire recluse.
