Dazzling, formally subversive, brimming with compassion, Fair Play explodes the conventions of a mystery in order to confront us with the genuinely mysterious. An emotional ambush of a novel, this book will delight readers - then it will haunt them Colin Walsh, author of Kala
"Louise Hegarty's genre-splicing debut is a treat-clever, confident, and always surprising, a mystery story that ingeniously escapes the locked room of the genre to take on the biggest questions of life and death." - Paul Murray, author of The Bee Sting
"A fiendishly designed, intricately layered, psychologically astute tale, and so elegantly written too. I've never read anything like it . . . a story of striking originality. I am full of admiration. - Emma Stonex, author of The Lamplighters

"An ingenious puzzle-box of a novel, where nothing is solved but everything is discovered. Louise Hegarty plays-often hilariously, always knowingly-with the forms and conventions of detective fiction, constantly pulling the rug from under the reader in a manner that echoes, heart-wrenchingly, the rug-pull at the heart of it all. Sad, funny, clever, engrossing; this is a wonderful debut." - Jon McGregor, author of Reservoir 13
"With each turn of a page the plot thickens masterfully and the form twists like a wicked game. Get to the Louise Hegarty party early, she's brilliant." - Jodie Harsh, author of You Had To Be There
"A current of electricity runs through every Louise Hegarty character, concept and sentence; Fair Play is ambitious and unpredictable and riotous and at the same time full of meaning and compassion. It's a triumph." - Lisa McInerney, author of The Glorious Heresies
"Each time you think you've got the measure of this clever and immensely readable debut, it turns around at the door, looks you in the eye, and offers up one more twist, one more audacious shattering of genre and convention that you never saw coming." - Andrew McMillan, author of Pity
"I loved it. Catastrophic grief explored through a meta murder mystery romp? Yes please! I found Fair Play intriguing, smart, fun, and devastatingly poignant, and I shall now read everything Louise Hegarty ever writes." - Effie Black, author of In Defence of The Act
