Review Quotes

"If you're unlucky enough to be murdered, pray that DI Slider is handed your case. And if he ever comes on the marriage market again, get in line for a chance at him"-- "Kirkus Reviews"

"The author imbues each of her detective with a distinct personality, and evokes a real sense of urgency as the action moves deftly from suspect to suspect as well as from clue to clue"-- "Publishers Weekly"

"While Harrod-Eagles conjures up an absorbing police procedural, it's her ability to capture the foibles of her characters, to make them come alive, to show the playfulness and passion of human nature, and to evoke the reader's empathy that makes her books stand out. Highly recommended for all readers of police procedurals"-- "Booklist Starred Review"
