Write to Kill Paperback – January 1, 2000
But things are never simple for Malaussne and his extended family of misfits and chancers. Soon he is in deep, faced with the theft of a manuscript, a frenzied readership, his private life in disarray, and a spate of connected murders that threaten to destroy Vendetta Press.
Write to Kill is the third of four crime novels set in the Belleville quarter of Paris. The Fairy Gunmother and The Scapegoat are also available from Harvill.

- Reviewed in the United States on May 28, 2013These books are a fun read with a nice sardonic kick. Originally written in French, they are not merely a topical read but can apply to almost anywhere people live.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 16, 2001This should have been an illustrated novel (bande desinee). (Pennac is an illustrator of Tardi BDs.) Vivid, memorable characterization, but marred by a kludgy, repetitive translation; misses wry and hits cute too often. The plot thrums along though suffers at the end from the same thing that marred "Smilla's Sense of Snow", a desperate sprint for the finish line. Writer blinded by science and hoping you'll believe the implausible ending. Still, fresh, barbed and imaginative.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 25, 1999If you're looking for a witty, breathtaking and original story, with deep things in it but which doesn't cry out loud "hey look I'm deep", with that little surreal touch that breaks into the reality, go for the Malaussène stories. This is the 3rd one. Start with the first "the scapegoat".(I read those in french, hope the translation is good).
