Reviews

A page-turner * Guardian *
Hugely enjoyable * Daily Mail *
Hill can't write a bad sentence and her characters are all completely convincing - no more so than her long-serving detective Simon Serrailler -- Henry Sutton * Daily Mirror *
Her intellectual stance is engaging, her plot unpredictable and her detective a likeable presence -- Hannah McGill * Scotland on Sunday *
Far more than a whodunit...written with a novelist's flair, in that the characters, however fleeting, are carefully drawn and believable -- Leslie Geddes-Brown * Country Life *
