Rezensionen

Weinberg herself has an aversion to neat endings, or neatness in general – her plot takes many surprising turns, her characters are multifaceted, and their dialogue pings with curious anecdotes that, unusually, add rather than detract from the whole. The Truants marks [Weinberg] out as a natural storyteller, in the vein of Agatha Christie herself. Startling
