Reviews

PRAISE FOR STIG ABELL

With his awkward but likeable hero, a compelling relationship between Jake and Livia, and the skillfully realized setting, Abells new career in crime fiction is off to a promising start. Daily Mirror

I was charmed and engrossed by Jakes self-reinvention, by Abells eccentric cast of characters Observer

I LOVED this. I found it totally immersive, and couldnt wait to squeeze some time from my day to return to it. The writing is very classy and the conclusion came as a surprise, which is always a treat
Ann Cleeves, the No. 1 Bestselling Author of Vera and Shetland

A beautifully written portrait of a burned-out cops new life in the countryside, where a cold case is never far away. Part romance, part cosy, 100% crime, I utterly adored it
Sam Holland, author of The Echo Man and The Twenty

Superb! A pitch-perfect blend of psychological thriller and classic detective fiction, rich with smart plotting and characters so real we feel we know them. And with the keen eye of the journalist that he is, Abell gives us a compelling portrayal of lifeand deathin the countryside. As for our hero, Jake Jackson, what can I say except I expect him back soon. No, I demand his return!
Jeffery Deaver, Sunday Times Top 10 Bestselling Author

Tense but patient, fast but thoughtful, and twisty but substantial this is a truly excellent debut, and I want the next installment now Lee Child, author of the Jack Reacher series

What a gorgeous read. It has the halo of an instant classic. This is a deep, searching novel, as preoccupied with human nature and ordinary evil as it is with detection
AJ Finn, the No. 1 Bestselling Author of The Woman in the Window
