   'Alternately violent and touching, exotic and strangely familiar. Grimwood's El Iskandryia is a place worth visiting...' Washington Post

'The dazzling Pashazade was always going to be a hard act to follow, but it comes as little surprise that the prodigally-talented Grimwood has pulled off the trick.’ Publishing News

'With the Arabesk books Grimwood, quite unfairly, pulls off five genres; sf, fantasy, crime, literary and noir. On the back of my copy it says, file under sf, but this is just silly since can write as well as Dave Eggars and could engage with fans of Inspector Rebus...' Justina Robson, The Big Issue

'An agreeably high tech entertainmenet whose demouement hinges on the revfelation of an ingeniously low-tech instrument of murder.' New York Times

'All brilliant light and scorching heat... Grimwood has successfully mingled fantasy with reality to make an unusual, believable and absorbing mystery.' Sunday Telegraph

'A mature balance between sensibility and action in what's essentially a rite of passage story allied with a detective thriller - deftly told and laced with neat ideas.' Time Out

'Grimwood's imagination and the lively originality of his writing make this an intriguing enterprise...' Chicago Tribune
