Review
'A work of art. A crime does take place, but, whilst the reader is concerned to find out who committed it and why, it is used mainly as a means of exploring the main themes of the novel' Crime Review. 'This title deserves to win an award in its plot, scope and writing. While the pace is gentle, it grips you with its language and characters and the issues it raises have you thinking for a long time. It is a novel I shall certainly remember' The Press Association. 'Cook remains one of the most accomplished writers in the genre' Financial Times. 'Writes with uncommon insight, elegance, and emotional intelligence' The Times. 'A master of the unexpected ending' New York Times. 'Who but Thomas H. Cook could blend love and death with such seamless elegance?' Harlan Coben.
