Superlative . . . This is a memorable addition to [the Inspector
Lynley] series
*Publishers Weekly (starred, boxed review)*
"Abso-bloody-lutely" good! That would be DS Barbara Havers' verdict
on this one. . . . An unsettling and thoroughly involving
narrative
*Booklist*
A skillfully spun yarn of murder and mayhem
*Kirkus Reviews*
A hugely complex and entertaining novel
*Star Pick*, The Times Crime Club*
It feels like meeting old friends and that you're almost solving
the crime together
*Belfast Telegraph*
A superbly written, complex but challenging read
*Peterborough Telegraph*
A well-plotted, fast-paced mystery
*Women's Weekly*
Expert pacing, plotting and the creation of psychologically
convincing characters...make this well worth reading. Elizabeth
George has been the recipient of a very number of prestigious
awards for her writing...this new work, which engages with much
darkness but finds some hope, might well gain her more
*Irish Examiner*
