    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.”

  • 'Cracked' reviewed in Publishers Weekly

    03 Jun 2013

    “On the pharmaceutical front, Davies takes aim at Big Pharma’s tendency to “cherry pick” positive clinical trial data to suit its needs. The results are drugs whose curative efficacy is questionable and which sometimes come with serious side effects (such as the “emotional blunting” that occurs in about half of all Prozac users). 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.”
