Review:
I loved this book. It's cool in both senses of the word, understated yet exciting. When I finished it I read it all over again. The characters still haunt me. (Ruth Rendell)
The True Deceiver glitters with the kind of sharpness that might just cut you... It is one of Jansson's most deceptively quiet, most astonishing compositions. (Ali Smith)
Tove Jansson was a genius (Philip Pulman)
The True Deceiver is a quiet masterpiece...the novel is haunting, complex and mysterious (The Age, Melbourne 2010-01-23)
