Praise for Strange Sally Diamond:

“Sally’s voice is wonderful, and her story life-affirming and make this an outstanding achievement which transforms the dark psychological thriller map with both bravura and delicacy. One for the ages”

Book Of The Month, Crime Time UK

“Sally is a terrific, protean creation, imbued with immense life force and a kind of naive charm. It is never less than enthralling to spend time in her company, and the novel’s soaring coda is a tribute to her spirit. No one is writing remotely like Liz Nugent now. She is, as Duke Ellington said of Ella Fitzgerald, beyond category”
