Elegant - spell-binding
*Daily Mail*
Brilliantly evoked
*The Sunday Times*
A classic whodunit at its very best
*The Express*
A cracking book.
A writer with a rare and singular dedication to authenticity - the
atmosphere Busby evokes is as melancholic as Graham Greene's The
End of the Affair.
*The Times*
It is a fitting monument to a writer of rare subtlety.
*Mail on Sunday*
Demonstrates her special strength as a teller of authentic,
poignant stories.
*The Daily Telegraph*
The sense of austerity and a crippled city recovering from war
permeates every page, while the arrival of rumpled Divisional
Detective Inspector Jim Cooper just adds to its striking
authenticity.
*Daily Mail*
This is the best new book that I have read in a long time. It's a
cliche but I really could not put it down. The backdrop of London
in 1946 is set out perfectly and the characters draw you in to
their world with ease.
