A COMPANION TO JUST A GIRL WITH A GUN
REVIEWS OF JUST A GIRL WITH A GUN
‘A great bit of storytelling. Jakubowski''s love of play shines. The end is poetic … a meditation on the weight and absurdity of life. It’s devastating.’ Paul Burke, Crime Time FM
‘Another compelling tale from an author who both shocks and delights. and sees the return of a much-loved (and feared) character from previous books and stories. Jakubowski is always unpredictable but unlike most other writers he weaves a fascinating web of the perverse and the tender. Unputdownable. The publishers boldly claim it a modern noir classic and tempt fate, but they might be right!‘ Anthony Barnett, Amazon
