“Absurdly amusing.”“This sequel to Foul Matter is a caper that casts an eye on publishing that is comic, caustic, and relentlessly readable.Yes, it's Grimes lite and probably as much fun for the author as it is for herreaders.”“This novel is a madcap mystery with delight.”“This sendup of the book world, in which hit menapparently have more integrity than publishers, is great fun.”“[An] addictive, whimsical follow-up to 2003’s Foul Matter fromMWA Grand Master Grimes…The coup de grace alone is worth the price ofadmission.”“[Martha Grimes] goes entertainingly wonky with this sequelto her bestselling Foul Matter…delivering insider publishing stuff with acidulous wit.”Martha Grimes is a very funny writer and TheWay of All Fish is a hilarious and worthy sequel to her bestselling FoulMatter. Like all great satirists, Ms. Grimes sees the world from the other side of the looking glass andinvites us to come along for a wild and wacky ride. A very entertainingand fun read.Few people have ever succeeded in making book publishing of all things seem funny and suspenseful, but Martha Grimes does so brilliantly in The Way of All Fish."Martha Grimes is back with a deliciously hilarious send-up of the book business. The Way of All Fish nails all the foul matter of publishing dead on, and is a smashingly great read as well."
