'Engaging and entertaining, it builds to a spectacular climax... Deft, daft and definitely delicious' Val McDermid, Manchester Evening News
--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
Product Description
Barrister Tam Buchanan is enjoying a rare, tranquil evening on the golf course. Poised gloriously on the brink of making the shot of his life, his concentration is abruptly shattered by the rude arrival of his exasperating former colleague, Fizz Fitzpatrick. She needs his help: an old friend of hers, Irene Lloyd, has disappeared. Also missing is a Rubens painting Irene had been working on, worth GBP1.5 million. But Fizz refuses to believe Irene is guilty of the theft, even if all the evidence points to the contrary. She smells a rat and, with Buchanan's help, she sets out to investigate. A captivating page-turner, full of invention and wit, "Hidden Depths" will keep you intrigued and mystified until the final revelations...

The ball arced high into the pellucid blue of the evening sky and then descended like a miniature Icarus, exquisite, beautiful, bouncing once on the edge of the green and rolling gently to within a metre of the hole. Read the first page

Format:Paperback
Joyce Holms crime novels featuring two of the most interesting characters in modern crime fiction are a real pleasure to read. I am always on the look out for her next book.
The well drawn characters of Edinburgh lawyers, the unstoppable and volatile Fizz Fitzpatrick and the long-suffering Tam Buchanan who keeps her feet on the ground are always entertaining. The story unfolds with Fizz embroiling Buchanan in a search for her missing friend, who appears to have absconded with a priceless Rubens painting. They chase around the Lothian area outside Edinburgh, following up false leads while the reader is strung out on a tense lead behind them. Hidden Depths like the other Joyce Holms books is full of atmosphere and sense of place as well as understated humour. The byplay between Fizz and Buchanan (where neither of them are aware of the strong attraction existing between them) is one of the author's tours de force. Poor Buchanan is beginning to fight back against Fizz' subtle manipulation.
Joyce Holms' gentle humour is a far cry from the angst-ridden detectives created by Ian Rankin and Quintin Jardine.
Great escapism and clever plotting.
