`The mise en scene for is the city of Oxford itself; its byways lovingly described here just as they are in Colin Dexter's Inspector Morse books. There is only one suitable word for Bleak Midwinter - infectious. Pass it on' * Daily Mail *
`A touch of Dexter ... and the intrigue of Le Carre' * Daily Mail *
`Peter Millar's research is faultless ... first-rate' * Independent *
`A fast-moving informative thriller which keeps you turning the pages' * Oxford Times *
