Review:
"Just when you thought Harvey couldn't get any better, up he pops with yet another brilliantly constructed, coolly written, chillingly sharp and utterly contemporary procedural." (Daily Mirror)
"John Harvey returns in resounding form." (The Times)
"John Harvey is not just a fine crime novelist but a fine writer, and an adornment to his chosen genre. I devoured GOOD BAIT in a day, and defy any reader to do otherwise.Great stuff." (John Connolly)
"This is the latest from a veteran crime fiction writer...who never fails to deliver the goods... Intricate, character-driven plotting and a large canvas full of telling detail lift this above the average police procedural." (Guardian)
"As ever, John Harvey's writing is cool, light, and beautiful. His combination of darkest emotion, present-day concerns, and simple human wanting, where everything isn't tied up neatly at the end, and pain goes on beyond the end of the novel - because it always does - is flawless." (Stella Duffy)
