'What a treat it is to read Olly Jarvis’s THE GENESIS INQUIRY: a compulsively readable crime and legal thriller that pulls off the trick of being both satisfyingly traditional and supremely up to the minute. In the attractive, cussed and charismatic person of lawyer Ella Blake Jarvis has created a hero that we can hope to see again. A real winner.'
STEPHEN FRY

‘I’m approaching the final pages of The Genesis Inquiry and I don’t want it to end. A phenomenal achievement by Olly Jarvis – highly, highly recommended.’
THE SECRET BARRISTER

'Conspiracy thrillers involving ancient texts are not usually written by authors as smart and stylish as Jarvis. This is a fun chase mystery with arresting ideas at its heart.' MAT COWARD, MORNING STAR
