Great reviews for The Spy Who Loved
06 Jun 2013
The Spy Who Loved is continuing to generate great reviews. The book is included in the LA Times Summer Books Preview under “Biography and Memoir” here.
Salon.com ran a rave review on Sunday:
“The most frank and comprehensive tribute yet to Christine…likely as substantial a biography as can be written about the woman who began life as Krystyna Skarbek — and it is indeed a thrilling account.”
And there was a starred review from Publishers Weekly:
“Mulley (The Woman Who Saved the Children) gives a remarkable, charismatic woman her due in this tantalizing biography.”

Further undermining the integrity of the psychiatric profession is the fact that many doctors, having received grants and/or speaking and consulting fees from Big Pharma companies, are essentially prescribing from within the deep pockets of their benefactors. The consequences for patients and the profession are obvious. An eye-opening and persuasive work.”

Tales of Two Cities is Sunday Telegraph Book of the Week
03 Jun 2013
“Each chapter of this deceptively accessible book can be read as a self-contained essay, a bright light shone onto a specific area of cultural engagement. Or, read straight through, Tales of Two Cities allows readers to reconsider what “everybody knows”. For, with astonishing ease, Jonathan Conlin performs that most useful, and difficult, of tasks: he makes us see the familiar as though it were new.”
