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. * Good Reads website *
