Book Description

Publication Date: 7 Jun 2012

In the heart of summer, in the dead of night, something wakes you. The house is quiet. The children are sleeping. The kitchen is empty.

Except for the body on the floor.

A series of brutal home invasions is terrorizing the Peak District. Until now, the burglars haven't left a clue. This time, they've left a corpse. But as the death toll rises, two intrepid cops begin to suspect that the robberies - and the murders - are not what they seem. Beneath the scorching summer sun, a dangerous game is in play . . . and a merciless killer is hiding in plain sight.

Packed with twists, suspense, and danger, The Devil's Edge is a gripping thriller to rival the very best of Peter Robinson and Peter James.

Review

Praise for Stephen Booth: A modern master (Guardian )

Wonderful (Daily Mail )

One of our best storytellers (Sunday Telegraph )

Besides rendering Cooper and Fry as fully realized characters, Booth makes even minor characters as distinct and sharp as the jagged rocks of the Riddings Edge. (PW on The Devil's Edge )

Book Description

Packed with nerve-jangling suspense and moody atmosphere, and featuring two of the most appealing heroes in modern crime fiction, The Devil's Edge is a thriller to rival the very best of Peter Robinson and Peter James

3.0 out of 5 stars The Devil,s Edge 20 Jun 2011
By boanerges
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
I,m sorry to say that I found this book,having read all of the previous books in the series,a little two dimentional.The story line seemed to plod along for most of the book & then come to a rushed conclusion,part of the story did not conclude,leaving me to believe another book is on its way.My thoughts are that perhaps the author has exhausted this format.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good read 26 July 2012
By Anne I
Format:Kindle Edition
This is the first Booth book I have read. I will definitely be downloading more, although I would probably recommend not starting with this one as there were too many allusions to past events and interactions between the characters which got a bit in the way of the plot.

As always an exceptionally good read by one of my favourite authors. If you like crime fiction I recommend Steven Booth as he really brings his characters to life.

The devils edge is another good book in the Cooper and Fry series. Quite different from the previous ones and just as enjoyable.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not his best
I've read most of Stephen Booth's novels and have really enjoyed the first few. The last couple haven't been as good. I still enjoyed them but preferred his earlier works. Read more

2.0 out of 5 stars Really rather dull.
If you read the book summary above you will see it described as "packed with nerve jangling suspense" and a "gripping thriller".
Let's get one thing straight. It isn't. Read more

If I could give this book a zero, I would. I bought it on the strength of Reginald Hill's single word, "Ingenious" (which is written on the front cover). Read more
