Review:
'Excellent Lydmouth mysteries' Play
'Andrew Taylor is a writer who constantly surprises' - Spectator (Spectator)
How skilfully he recreates the atmosphere of the time through innuendo, attitude and detail rather than dogged description . . .Taylor is the master of small lives writ large and, in the phrase coined in this era of surly pubs and poor food, he has carved a classic detective story which is deceptively calm and cool, but really smashing (Frances Fyfield, Express (on THE SUFFOCATING NIGHT)
'He writes terribly well' Glasgow Evening Times
Taylor is an excellent writer (The Times)
'Does full justice to Andrew Taylor's reputation as on of the greatest award winning crime writers of our time' Bangor Chronicle
The conclusion is surprising
Deft, stylish and very entertaining novel ... a cut above the rest (Sherlock Holmes)
