Review:
Martin's second novel propels her forward in the ranks of British crime writers... It will definitely rank among the best crime books of the year (Yorkshire Post)
A nail-biting thriller that builds tension (Val McDermid)
Martin cleverly portrays the innocent obstinacy of vulnerable young boys, propelled towards a fate they can neither imagine nor believe (Sunday Telegraph)
The writing has a nice, hairs-rising-on-the-back-of-the-neck tone to it, and I wouldn't recommend staying up into the small hours to finish this one. Better to peruse it in daylight, with a hatchet close to hand (IRISH TIMES)
The Bird Yard is extremely well written and grips the reader with a very real fear (STIRLING OBSERVER)

`Martin's special gift is for defining the psychological boundaries that keep Brogan and all the characters confined in cages they never made'. (New York Times)
