Media Reviews
A really excellent example of the genre: well thought out and equally well executed, with some cunningly concealed surprises. Inspector Thanet is a definite find. TLS Pace, plot and subtle characterisations all combine to make this a cracking good read. SUNDAY TELEGRAPH Simpson handles her characters and storyline with consummate skill and her descriptions of the Kentish countryside are a delight to read. TODAY Real policemen always claim not to read crime fiction: they would do well to read this one, not least because, like all Simpson's, it is admirable for its clean writing, shrewd portraits and tight plots. FINANCIAL TIMES
