Praise for Aline Templeton's Marjory Fleming series (: )

'Loved it'

'Skilfully plotted and well-paced . . . This book is a delight, from its leisurely start to the moving and unexpected finish.'
(Guardian on THE DARKNESS AND THE DEEP )'Interesting, atmospheric and - I predict - televisual'

Excellent story with the underlying sadness of childhood neglect. Enjoyed exploring the different complex characters, and trying to work out who the sad child was. Excellent setting, and gripping storyline.

Excellent author.
4 April 2006
Format:Hardcover
I am reading this author somewhat back-to-front as I was introduced to her through her book "Cold in the Earth." That I've gone back and found her back list should say it all. The lady knows how to write diverse, identifiable characters. Even her less pleasant characters are ones with whom you can empathize. She also really knows how to create atmosphere and tension. Her dialogue is excellent and there's something about her writing that always strikes a memory chord for me. In this case, although I've not attended church for years, the excerpts of old hymns brought the tunes back to me in full. I highly recommend this author.
