Media Reviews
- Bell imbues her work with liveliness and a sense of purpose' - Yorkshire Post - 'Classic English thriller... like Agatha Christie, only with better in-depth characterisation.' - Sunday Press, Dublin - 'Armchair criminologists will enjoy pitting themselves against Pauline Bell's Detective Inspector Browne.' - Peterborough Evening Telegraph - 'A well constructed tale expertly told... a satisfying series of accumulated surprises.' - Scotsman - 'Choral compulsion- or is it mania?- engagingly analysed as red herrings are neatly floated between high notes and low. A must on the Messiah circuit.' - Guardian
