The Wild Swimmers

Loved it. Atmospheric, complex and satisfying - this is another hugely gripping instalment in my favourite police series. – Mark Edwards The writing and plotting are so good that they sweep you on to the end * Literary Review *This is a fast-paced, atmospheric thriller with red herrings and twists and turns along the way. * Candis Magazine *The latest novel in William Shaw’s atmospheric series set on the Kent coast is full of keen-eyed observation, both of landscape and the perils of human relationships. * Times *A skilfully constructed and thoroughly engrossing thriller * Mail on Sunday *Shaw now rivals Ann Cleeves … combining compelling mysteries with evocations of Britain’s landscape… I spent most of the book applauding his artistry. * Telegraph *Clever, understated and believable, Shaw’s atmospheric DS Cupidi books are one of the great British crime series * The Sun (Pick of the Week) *A gripping whodunnit peopled by the good, the bad and the ugly. * Saga Magazine *This is the fifth in the excellent DS Alex Cupidi series and is just as richly immersive as its predecessors. As usual the story rattles along, but never at the expense of its main characters, and with one of them being placed in peril halfway through you’ll find yourself galloping through the pages to solve the mystery that lies at the heart of the novel. * Choice Magazine *
