Critics Review

‘the type of book which stays with you long after you have closed the page. Highly recommended.’– Mystery Women

Loved it - Val McDermid on THE DARKNESS AND THE DEEP

An unalloyed pleasure - an intelligent, character-driven crime novel. - Andrew Taylor on COLD IN THE EARTH

Skilfully plotted and well-paced … This book is a delight, from its leisurely start to the moving and unexpected finish. - Guardian on THE DARKNESS AND THE DEEP

Interesting, atmospheric and - I predict - televisual - Literary Review on THE DARKNESS AND THE DEEP

[Aline Templeton] has demonstrated that, just when we thought Scotland was saturated with detectives, a strong woman can elbow her way in and find a unique niche. - Scotsman on COLD IN THE EARTH

It is always a pleasure to read Aline Templeton, but THE DARKNESS AND THE DEEP must surely be her best book to date. Alines characters are so beautifully drawn … - J Wallis Martin

A compelling read. - Margaret Yorke on COLD IN THE EARTH

Praise for Aline Templeton’s Marjory Fleming series - :
