Extraordinary... Above all, it's a page-turner which renders
existential questions about personal responsibility into fodder fit
for a thriller
*Observer*
Impressive in the breadth of its concerns ... what is striking
about The Bishop's Man is the way the author achieves a necessary
balance, keeping a judicious distance between himself and his tale
of institutional corruption and its dire effect. Both dispassion
and compassion inform his narrative
*Times Literary Supplement*
The character of MacAskill, whose theological musings are worthy of
Graham Greene, is rich and complex. The remote and decaying fishing
village, with its cast of lost and lonely souls, also rings with
conviction
*Daily Mail*
Powerful... An overwhelming sense of secrecy pervades every
exchange, every turn and twist of the story
*Belfast Telegraph*
Very readable, with a hint of Graham Greene
*Scotsman*
