Critics Review
Meticulously researched and classily written - Sunday Times
The war-damaged Innes is a strong, sympathetic character and the meticulously researched background is fascinating - The TimesOne of the best historical spy thrillers of recent time. The Suicide Club exceeded all my expectations. It really is very, very good: comprehensively researched, carefully plotted and quite brilliantly written. - SHOTSAndrew Williams synthesises historical writing with the excitement of the thriller: utterly persuasive character drawing, a pungent sense of locale and period, and sheer storytelling impetus that is impossible to resist. - Financial TimesPraise for THE POISON TIDE:Two novels have established Andrew Williams as an outstanding writer of the historical thriller or spy story. Poison Tide will only enhance his reputation. It is very good indeed … Compelling and smoothly engineered … You will be lucky if you come upon a more engrossing and enjoyable historical thriller this year. Or perhaps next year - ScotsmanA first-class thriller … possesses a richness of characterisation and intelligence that few can match. - Sunday TimesOne of those compelling reads that, once started, cannot be put down’ - Scotland on SundayAbout The Author
