Reviews / Votes
Natasha Cooper is a devious plotter * Observer * An enjoyable and satisfying mystery * Daily Telegraph * Strong characterisation and sense of place put Cooper among the best in current crime writing * Publishing News * I'm delighted that Trish Maguire will be available to readers again, I'm a great fan. Natasha Cooper is a compelling crime-writer; her stories always start with an intriguing premise and lead us through to a satisfying conclusion. But she's more than an assured story-teller. Cooper is fascinated by the nature of evil and each story is a contemporary fable, exploring the roots and the consequences of violence. -- Ann CleevesMore details
