"A strong, atmospheric debut" (The List)
"Historical crime fiction is enjoying something of a golden moment and with her often ingenious and unusual debut, Jenny Mayhew adds significantly to the genre." (The Scotsman)
"Richly imagined ... A lusty tale of pre-war eugenics that cleverly pre-figures the historical horrors to come." (Independent)
"Mayhew can definitely write... with a richness and intelligence, and never a sense of showing-off... [A Wolf in Hindelheim has] a wide-reaching subject matter pinned down to a strong plot; and in every short chapter a sign that this is an author to watch." (The Bookbag)
