Review:

She brought to the detective novel originality, intelligence, energy and wit. (P. D. James)

D. L. Sayers is one of the best detective story writers. (E. C. Bentley Daily Telegraph)

I admire her novels . . . she has great fertility of invention, ingenuity and a wonderful eye for detail. (Ruth Rendell)

She combined literary prose with powerful suspense, and it takes a rare talent to achieve that. A truly great storyteller. (Minette Walters)
