Critics Review
‘The multi layered stories involving Lynley in London and his former colleagues in the backwaters of England offer such dynamic contrasts and take twisted turns so subtle you really can t see them coming that I was left blissfully guessing right to the final full stop…so much more satisfying than figuring it all out before we re supposed to… a richly deceptive and sinister murder mystery with inspired and intricate plot twists. - The Australian Women’s Weekly
Crime writing at its best and a damn good book to curl up with for several hours. - Courier Mail Any other writer would have difficulty sustaining the interest over 600 pages, but George again produces a page-turner…Impressive.’ - The Sunday Age The Lynley series are marked by intricate plots and the latest will not disappoint fans. - The Illawarra MercuryThe reader can trust that labyrinthine plotting will eventually reveal the relationship between the paper and all the above… George’s reader still rejoices that there is promise of more to come. - The Adelaide AdvertiserHurrah, another Inspector Lynley … This is crime writing at its finest. George’s books are long, solid and wonderfully crafted; she is a modern Dorothy L Sayers. - SagaThe author writes brilliantly and has an incredible ability to set a scene and create characters you want to know more about. - SunAbout The Author
