A cracking good read ... Highly recommended * Scots Magazine * The characters here are vivid and contrasting, and they grow and develop in a way usually only found in literary novels, and the plotting and evocation of atmosphere as professional as they come. An excellent series * Kirkus Reviews * A tense and atmospheric thriller with a heart-stopping ending * Tangled Web *
