'Absorbing, charming and funny, A Brush With Death heralds a fresh and welcome new voice in crime writing. Susie Mahl is also a welcome new detective: witty, warm and very inquisitive.' * Antonia Fraser * 'A delicious new voice in crime writing... Excellent on the English aristocracy and written in a fine wry style.' * <i>Daily Mail</i> * 'A riveting, charming and very funny new crime series from the fabulously talented Ali Carter.'



* Piers Morgan * 'An entertaining read, and one that had me up to the wee small hours.' * <i>Crimesquad</i> * 'A Brush with Death is a perfectly English mystery, with an abundance of all the right jokes, details, and muddy dogs. Author Ali Carter's first book is a lovely romp and shows promise for a wonderful tongue-in-cheek mystery series.' * <i>Foreword Reviews</i> * 'Brilliantly enjoyable; coolly observed.' * <i>The Tablet</i> * 'Animal lovers, Anglophiles, and fans of humorous, socially observant whodunits will look forward to the next Susie Mahl mystery.' * <i>Publishers Weekly</i> * 'Its rich details on the British leisure class may interest fans of Downton Abbey and G.M. Malliet's "Max Tudor" mysteries.' * <i>Library Journal</i> * 'Fans of country-house cozies will delight in this series debut.' * <i>Booklist</i> * 'This is a crime novel for mystery fans sick of gore and sexual violence. Just curl up and lose yourself happily in this world of animals and toffs - closely observed by a beady-eyed artist turned amateur sleuth who realises all is not as innocent as it looks and is determined to do something about it.' * Ruth Dudley Edwards, author of The Robert Amiss Mysteries * 'A Brush with Death is a charming and amusing murder mystery. It contains great character observations and is written with humour. She brings to life the world of the aristocracy and everything that goes with it. A pleasant change from the dark Norwegian Noir genre. It is definitely a book to take on holiday.' * <i>Country Wives</i> * 'A Brush with Death is the first in a charming new series about pet portraitist and amateur sleuth Susie Mahl.' * <i>Crime Reads</i> * 'Carter is a fresh and welcome new voice in crime writing and Susie Mahl a very different new detective.' * <i>Crime Review</i> * 'The first book in a promising new series will remind you of Downton Abbey and Miss Marple, except that this Miss M is a pet portraitist with a penchant for rather expensive underwear, and it's purely for her own pleasure.' * <i>Bookbag</i> *
