The Times
«In the beginning there was Modesty. Cooler than the pretentious James Bond, tougher than the brain-dead Mike Hammer»
Lauren Henderson, author of Dead White Female
«Before Buffy, before Charlie's Angels, before Purdy and Emma Peel there was Modesty Blaise. For almost 40 years, Peter O'Donnell's iconic heroine drop-kicked her way through a swath of villains and into a unique place in popular culture»
Observer
«One of the great partnerships in fiction, bearing comparison with that of Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson»
Kingsley Amis
«O'Donnell is one of those rare popular writers, like Josephine Tey or P.G. Wodehouse, who inspire not just fandom but love»
