Review
Lovesey's style is pure joy. He tells a rattling good story without ever resorting to the literary pretensions that bedevil so much crime fiction. His characters are never less than believable (Daily Mail)
What'll it be today? A knotty puzzle mystery? A fast-paced police procedural? Something more high-toned, with a bit of wit? With the British author Peter Lovesey, there's no need to make those agonizing decisions, because his books have it all (New York Times)
Diamond is a wonderfully rounded character whose lines are witty and whose observations about people's characters and motives are brilliantly insightful. Vintage Diamond mystery, spiced by his comic encounters with his supervisor: a must for devotees of character-driven British crime fiction (Booklist)
The best mystery I've read in the past few years, and one of Lovesey's best (Mystery Scene)
Diamond fans will be delighted by this instalment in the long-running series, which sees Lovesey on absolutely top form (Morning Star)
A fine beach read - heck, a great fireside chair read, a straphanger commuter read, a stolen-moments-during-a-busy-day read, an anytime read (New York Journal of Books)
Master craftsman Lovesey weaves his threads to make a spider's web of theories, evidence and incidents that he finally spins together into a silken bow of a present for us all at the finish (Shots)
Lovesey is a masterful plotter, and that alone would earn him praise and fans, but his characters are memorable, and Diamond is a glittering gem among them. In addition to those strengths Lovesey adds wit, humor, and finely structured prose (Alfred Hitchcock's Mystery Magazine)
Simply delicious . . . Peter Lovesey is a master of the police procedural. His high quality writing is always a joy to read (Deadly Pleasures)
Lovesey's plotting is smart, his style engaging and drily funny (Ellery Queen Mystery Magazine)
