Review:
There are echoes of Agatha Christie in the complex plot set in 1934, but Taylor's portrait of desperate lives is infused with a sharp sense of class and politics as British society fractures under the threat of a world war (The Times, Top 100 Crime & Thrillers since 1945)
Taylor is the modern master of a very Dickensian underworld... A sense of brooding evil pervades the complex plot, handled with great assurance (Independent)
The period atmosphere, as in all Taylor's work, is flawless. He simply gets better and better (Daily Telegraph)
