Reviews

Praise for Hilary Bonner and "When the Dead Cry Out"

"Pick up Hilary Bonner at your peril---you won't be able to put her down. Bonner's taut, compelling tales have more twists and turns than an English country lane. She'll drive you to distraction."---Val McDermid, author of "The Torment of Others"

"Bonnerworks outside conventional mystery or police procedural mode, keeping readers guessing."---"Kirkus Reviews"

"Hilary Bonner's secret is that as a top journalist she's been there, seen it close up and asked the crucial questions. She plots with pace, passion, and that marvelous ability to keep you turning the pages long after you meant to put out the light."---Peter Lovesey, author of "The Circle"

"A fascinating tale of believable people, in the hands of an absolutely ace storyteller; I read it in one sitting, with enormous pleasure."---Lindsey Davis, author of "Scandal Takes a Holiday"
