Revue de presse
Dealing with his own troubles is Ty, the good-looking, mightlily confused teenage witness to a murder whom we first met in When I Was Joe . Keren David picks up his story as Ty s protection programme is compromised. Haunted by the ghost of a man killed instead of him, Ty must come to terms with both this and his family problems. He is an immensely touching creation, all bravado and awkwardness, imagination and violence, and David s second novel is as slick as her first. --Literary Review
