Media Reviews
'Beautifully written and conjuring up a terrific feel for the period ... Absolutely first-class entertainment' Books Monthly 'Cleverly plotted, well-written and invoking the atmosphere of the time ... heartily recommended' Mystery People 'Once again Marston has created a credible atmosphere within an intriguing story' Sunday Telegraph 'Abrim with heroism, tenderness, chicanery and suspense, while crisply evoking a vivid picture of the era' Kirkus Reviews 'Mesmerising ... will appeal to lovers of history' Wales on Sunday 'Deeds of Darkness is a beautifully crafted description of the time, with many interesting historical details. It is also a fascinating and, at times, chilling, police procedural with a likeable central cast of characters. I would recommend it' Mystery People 'Marston really knows how to bring this period of history alive. You can feel the atmosphere, the worry, and what it meant to ordinary people whose children were facing the horrors of the First World War yet without it overpowering the plot line.' Angela Youngman
