Critics Review

PRAISE FOR SLEEPING DOGS: ‘Sleeping Dogs – as with the entire Adam Tyler series – has such an immense sense of place and character that I was swept up in it. Sheffield and the surrounds come to vivid life on the page. Each member of the team are thought out with tremendous precision and a perfect sense of understanding … I cannot recommend this and the entire series highly enough. This one deserves all the plaudits it gets!’ James Delargy ‘I was hooked from the opening scene, and barely breathed as the story twisted and turned to a thrilling climax … Russ Thomas is one of the best crime writers around at the moment, and I can only hope that there is more of the series around the corner!’ Chris McDonald ‘You can’t beat a good detective series, and DS Adam Tyler is up there with the best of them. Sleeping Dogs is seriously good … Russ Thomas just keeps getting better. Keep them coming!’ Roxie Key ‘Russ Thomas has a gift for making shocking events believable and human. With Sleeping Dogs, he takes characters we already know and love to new and ambitious places, with a layered and twisting plot, and he makes it all look effortless. An outstanding and perfectly-paced addition to this stand-out series’ Emma Styles PRAISE FOR THE DS ADAM TYLER SERIES: ‘Clever and compulsive’ Louise Candlish ‘I loved it’ Lee Child ‘A cracking read with a terrific new detective lead’ Sarah Hilary ‘I was hooked on DS Adam Tyler from the first page … Spot on’ Sam Holland ‘A rollercoaster ride’ Peter Robinson ‘Wonderfully fresh and original’ Kate Rhodes ‘Totally absorbed me’ Cass Green ‘Everything you could want from a crime novel’ Sarah Ward ‘Hard-hitting’ Sunday Times, Crime Book of the Month ‘Riveting’ Heat ‘Taut, intelligent and fast moving’ Daily Mail
