Critics Review
A highly readable novel with an entertaining storyline and intriguing characters. * Crime Time *Pacy and expertly engineered, this is a superior police procedural with a wonderful sense of place and time; pitch-perfect period detail range from the start of the “care in the community” policy of deinstitutionalisation, to mis-sold endowment mortgages and Man at C&A. Highly recommended. * Guardian (Best recent Crime and Thrillers) *Extremely well-written … let’s hope for a swift return of this oddball duo. * Irish Independent *No one writes Essex like James Henry * Joanne Ooi, Founder of EA Festival *The Winter Visitor has me snagged more than any other book I’ve read in the last 10 years * Delia Owens, author of Where The Crawdads Sing *A cut above the average crime novel. Terrific * Nicholas Shakespeare *
