Barnes, 'a leafy suburb of west London, is an unlikely hotbed of crime'

'O'Keeffe does not hold back on skewering the pretensions of a social set'

'A cleverly constructed story. Thoroughly enjoyable'

Delighted to see this review of the new DI Garibaldi novel in the @dailymail.co.uk

Any #QPR fans dream of this place at night? DI Garibaldi, the detective in my series of crime novels, does. He also dreams he's the #QPR manager. Maybe someone should give him a call...

'He remembered the line from Larkin - 'man hands on misery to man'. That's what he'd done - handed on the misery of being a QPR season ticket-holder to his son. And he didn't regret it one bit.' DI Garibaldi. Possibly the only #QPR - supporting cop in crime fiction.
