Louise Hegarty’s genre-splicing debut is a treat – clever, confident, and always surprising, a mystery story that ingeniously escapes the locked room of the genre to take on the biggest questions of life and death (Paul Murray, author of The Bee Sting)
As soon as I finished this fiendishly elegant jigsaw puzzle of a book, I dashed back and scoured its pages trying to find if Hegarty had planted a glinting, hidden clue somewhere to unlock the mystery
A brilliant dissection of the murder mystery format . . . Both funny and moving, it’s a really impressive debut (The Times, 'Best Books of 2025 So Far')
Dazzling, formally subversive, brimming with compassion, Fair Play explodes the conventions of a mystery in order to confront us with the genuinely mysterious. An emotional ambush of a novel, this book will delight readers – then it will haunt them (Colin Walsh, author of Kala)
It takes skill, and even a sense of anarchy, to produce a novel as funny, baffling and occasionally moving as Fair Play (The Irish Times)
A fiendishly designed, intricately layered, psychologically astute tale, and so elegantly written too. I've never read anything like it . . . a story of striking originality. I am full of admiration. (Emma Stonex, author of The Lamplighters)
An ingenious puzzle-box of a novel . . . Sad, funny, clever, engrossing; this is a wonderful debut. (Jon McGregor, author of Reservoir 13 )
Undoubtedly the most original crime novel you’ll read all year
[An] ingenious debut novel (The Telegraph)
A witty, knowing homage to classic detective fiction, but also a deeply sensitive examination of the loneliness and confusion of grief
Fair Play is ambitious and unpredictable and riotous and at the same time full of meaning and compassion. It's a triumph (Lisa McInerney, author of The Glorious Heresies)
With each turn of a page the plot thickens masterfully and the form twists like a wicked game. Get to the Louise Hegarty party early, she’s brilliant (Jodie Harsh, author of You Had To Be There)
Each time you think you’ve got the measure of this clever and immensely readable debut, it turns around at the door, looks you in the eye, and offers up one more twist, one more audacious shattering of genre and convention that you never saw coming (Andrew McMillan, author of Pity)
A smart, intricately plotted novel (iNews)
Acts as both witty deconstruction of a genre and portrait of unbearable grief and loss
I loved it . . . intriguing, smart, fun, and devastatingly poignant . . . I shall now read everything Louise Hegarty ever writes (Effie Black, author of In Defence of the Act)
