What They're Saying

Critics Review

“You can always count on Wycliffe … he inevitably guarantees a good story, convincing characters, and appealing landscape.”

“First-class, old-time, hyper-ingenious whodunit.” “Observer””“Whenever a character comes back as many times a Chief Superintendent Wycliffe, a reviewer is faced with a dilemma: What can you say that you haven’t already said? We called attention to Burley’s solid plotting, well-described and colorful settings, and intriguing characters … Finally, we have no choice but to repeat ourselves by emphasizing one more time how pleasurable the familiar conventions of the genre can be in the hands of a writer as good as Burley.” “Booklist””“You can always count on Wycliffe … he inevitably guarantees a good story, convincing characters, and appealing landscape.” “Financial Times “”
