Russell is a master of terrors

A tale set at the very edge of our medical knowledge, and of a thrilling heroine who confronts a theft that haunts me still. I loved it!

From real to surreal...This quirky story of avarice and vengeance in rural France unfolds with all the charm of a slightly puzzling art house french movie

Crime fiction for those with a soul and a dark sense of humour

Magnan chronicles the hidden passions seething below the apparently idyllic surface of rural life [in a style] closer to Flaubert than Midsomer Murders

Magnan is a master storyteller... unmissable

This is a book full of surprising discoveries and reversals, but also a fascinating portrait of a society closer to fracture than anyone is prepared to admit...One of the novel's strength's is that it values intelligence, and the process of analytic thought as much as it does the sensational moments

Pearl's is an ambitious project; literary criticism, biography, reconstruction, reportage and fiction, all in one volume...Where else could you find all this and disquisitions on the slave trade, voter fraud in local elections and the workings of the US postal system? And the truth about Edgar Allan Poe's death?

Fascinating reading

This is a story not for people who like reading novels but for the much larger number who like solving puzzles

Bruen's tightly coiled prose strikes like a piss-soaked rattler.

Sharp, punch and unsettling, Priest is a masterpiece.

... An intensely dark maelstrom ... excellent.

Bruen should be valued as one of the most challenging and memorable writers in the genre at the moment.
