‘The elegance of this book is that its axis is a resounding ‘perhaps’ . . . It is this moral ambivalence that draws readers to the true crime genre, and Safran nails it’ Weekend Australian
‘Mississippi is like a trampoline for [Safran’s] eccentricities. But the form and content of the story bring out an unfamiliar side of him’ Sydney Morning Herald
‘A winning combination of memoir, true crime and gonzo journalism . . . a compulsive summer read’ Sunday Mail
‘Funny and gripping and wonderfully weird . . . It’s a tremendous book. I can’t praise it too highly’ Louis Theroux

‘John Safran’s captivating inquiry into a murder in darkest Mississippi is by turns informative, frightening and hilarious. It is enlivened by a swarm of creepy locals and a torrent of astonishing details–such as hedge clippers put to surgical use in the performance of an official autopsy.’ John Berendt, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil
