Reviews

'The first in a new series of gritty crime thrillers featuring Detective Sergeant Kate Power, from an author who has already proved her worth in the female crime - writer genre.' South Wales Argus on Staying Power; 'The most imaginative and dashingly-plotted yet of Cutler's novels featuring Birmingham DS Kate Power' The Times Crime Supplement on Staying Power; 'What really makes the Kate Power novels different is the fact that the doughty sergeant is constantly at war with male chauvinists... It all adds up to Cutler on good form' Sunday Mercury Birmingham on Staying Power; 'A pacy, puzzling page-turner' The Good Book Guide
