From the Publisher:

Critical acclaim for "A Likeness in Stone"
"A Likeness in Stone", which was nominated for an Edgar Allan Poe award, was filmed as a two-part drama by the BBC. It was published to exceptional reviews. The following are just a few:

`This chilling novel is absorbing and genuinely surprising'. (Guardian)

`This is a compelling psychological thriller with echoes of Barbara Vine and Minette Walters. Well written, intelligent and chilling'. (Val McDermid - Manchester Evening News)

`Gripping, occasionally goulish thriller in which a body turns up after 20 years and sets in train both new investigations and new crimes. Cracking pace and clevery plotted. (Mike Ripley - Daily Telegraph) `Very impressive and a most assured book - wonderfully rich in atmosphere, too'. (Susan Moody)

`In this stylish anatomy of a murder, Martin explores how a single ac of violence can wreck not only the life of one person, but of everyone involved with the crime, including those trying to solve it. Intelligent and impeccably plotted, this is one of the best thrillers you'll read this year'. (Cosmopolitan)
