Reviews…


This is McDermid’s most expressive and emotional novel to date, giving readers more than just a clever criminal to get their teeth into.

The National


The novel is beautifully crafted in short pithy chapters that shine the spotlight on the murderer…

The Arts Desk


…this series felt as if it had been given a new lease on life. It certainly remains the case here and the ending…. well the ending sets us up for something completely different.
