This brilliant novel works wonders. Malcolm Forbes, Minneapolis Star Tribune
A blisteringly funny political critique wrapped up in a murder mystery, The Proof of My Innocence is a wry portrayal of our political moment by one of Britain's most beloved novelists.
Post-university life doesn't suit Phyl. She's living at home with her parents, working a zero-hour job serving Japanese food to tourists at Heathrow airport, and her ambitions seem to be going nowhere fast. That is, until family friend Chris comes to stay. He's been on the path to uncover a sinister think-tank that's been scheming to push the government in a more extreme direction. As Britain finds itself under the leadership of a new prime minister whose tenure will only last for seven weeks, Chris pursues his story to a conference being held deep in the Cotswolds, where events take a sinister turn. But will the solution to the mystery lie in contemporary politics, or in a decades-old literary enigma?
A cosy crime spoof around the rise and rapid fall of Liz Truss; this playful, metafictional romp is enormous fun. The Guardian, Best Books of the Year
