Anna Leszkiewicz • New Statesman Oct 6, 2024

"(Series: Brighton Bombings) Patterson is a novelist, and this series is as much about storytelling as updating the historical record. The cold, deadly sequence of events is punctuated with comments from Magee...The most brazen attack on British politics since the Gunpowder Plot. It’s not a comfortable listen, especially for anyone who has just returned from party conference season."
