About this title

Review:

"Woodend fans should cherish this finale" Kirkus Reviews on Fatal Quest "As always, Spencer offers up a clever plot, highly skilled writing, deft touches of ironic humor, and consummate characterizations, resulting in another fine entry in this strong procedural series" Booklist on Fatal Quest "Spencer offers up another intriguing and thoroughly enjoyable puzzler" Booklist Starred Review on Dying Fall "A cracking good British police procedural with a plot that's darker than her usual fare and a maverick cop in the John Rebus mold who, despite his flaws and a career that endlessly teeters on the brink of disaster, is as likable as anyone in the genre" Booklist on Death Watch"
