Deft characterisation, convoluted plot and more red herrings than the North Sea - Under the Marsh is a deft page-turner that doesn't disappoint.

An intriguing mystery that brings the Scottish highlands and those who live there vividly to life. I loved it.

Chilling and breathtaking all at once, Under the Marsh grabs you by the throat from the off and it never lets you go. Stellar writing and GR Halliday's best yet.

Loved it. A fabulously atmospheric read. Thoroughly enjoyed the past and present strands that kept me guessing throughout. So cleverly done. There were many ways it could've gone but, the way it did, was such a satisfying end.

G.R. Halliday has created a wonderfully atmospheric and taut novel with UNDER THE MARSH. Perfectly paced and deliciously misleading, I was led down various different rabbit holes to find out what had happened, and to keep this level of intrigue is something so difficult now in this genre! Hugest congratulations.

Dark crimes, and the motivations behind them, are thrown into sharp relief against the enduring backdrop of the Scottish landscape. As addictive as Sue Grafton, with DI Monica Kennedy easily a match for Kinsey Millhone. Now I want to read all the others in the series immediately!

A tremendously atmospheric and tense read with fantastic characters who leap off the page and guide the story to a hugely satisfying conclusion. Brilliant.

An engrossing read

A fiendishly complex case. A deep understanding of human nature drives this intricately plotted masterpiece of Japanese crime writing. A timely and welcome opportunity for a new generation to discover Seicho Matsumoto

The Simenon of Japan. . . a legendary writer

Matsumoto is a necessity, reading him is like having a bowl of rice you never get tired of

One of the most talented, most daring, most humane writers of the past twenty years

Denise Mina brilliantly manages to be funny, heart-wrenching, gut-punching and addictive all at once

The excellent Denise Mina's latest is an irresistible thriller... A considerably sassier and much funnier alternative to The Da Vinci Code and its kind

The sequel to the joyously funny Conviction... although there's a laugh on nearly every page, it's not short on thrills

A playful novel, written with energy, inventiveness and glee

This romp unfolds as a glorious spoof of The Da Vinci Code but it's not short on thrills

A rattling good thriller from an undoubted master of the genre.

Exciting, atmospheric and with non-stop action.

Anthony Horowitz writes Bond in the style of Fleming... Total brain candy in the best possible fashion.

Authentic, exciting and shot through with a very Flemingesque ennui.

A clever and highly-satisfying espionage thriller... Horowitz nails precisely why Ian Fleming's novels were so popular in the first place. Put simply, he gets James Bond.

Readers will love the way Horowitz stays loyal to the winning formula of Bond creator Ian Fleming, confronting an old enemy with new energy.

There seems an inexhaustible appetite for all things 007. One day, we might tire of him, but if his fictional incarnations remain as entertaining as With a Mind to Kill, we will be hoping that Bond doesn't hang up his Walther PPK for a while yet.

Masterly... There's an enjoyably mischievous tension between Bond, whose entire time in Russia is bleak...and Horowitz, who's plainly having a ball subjecting him to this ordeal.

A gloriously entertaining and surprisingly poignant novel that would make a better movie than many of the Bond stories that actually made it to the big screen.

Suspenseful, seductive, gorgeously written

An intriguing story of complex characters and their long-buried secrets

A must-read for true crime lovers

'I can hear the book club discussions now... undeniably powerful'

Infuses the summer mystery genre with some serious ideas about our obsession with crime stories and our sense of women's identities.
