Review
'A sensual portrait of modern Greece, as well as a great page-turner: taste the salt, feel the heat as you follow the dramatic story...offers much more than the crime fiction genre usually encompasses: a rich and intelligent story, with fascinating characters' Scotland on Sunday on A DEEPER SHADE OF BLUE - 'A new departure for an immensely talented author, and the change of scene from the Scotland of the earlier books to the author's new home of Greece pays great dividends' Barry Forshaw, Publishing News on A DEEPER SHADE OF BLUE - 'Excellent' - Philip Kerr on A DEEPER SHADE OF BLUE - 'Johnston brings an intelligent perspective to the dark excitement of the thriller' - Nicholas Blincoe, Observer on WATER OF DEATH - 'Another fine example of great storytelling' - Sunday Telegraph on THE HOUSE OF DUST
