Critics Review

‘This is crime fiction at its very best with a local twist.’

‘This is crime fiction at its very best with a local twist.’ * Newcastle Herald *
‘A well-constructed and enjoyable mystery that moves at brisk pace. The characterisations are convincing and Maitland, who lives in the Hunter Valley, invests the book with a good sense of place and a nice social conscience.’ * Beaudesert Times *
‘Maitland does not flinch from a brutal denouement…Prepare for a long and gripping haul.’ * Age/Sydney Morning Herald *
