An excellent read
3 Jun 1998
Format:Paperback
Graham combines sly humor with scenes of heartrending pathos in this expertly written, multilayered novel. The characters are sensitively and/or wittily drawn, not least of which is the self-important, inept Sergeant Troy. The interaction between this would-be storm trooper and his level-headed superior, Inspector Barnaby, is endlessly amusing. At the same time, I found the ending to be the most moving of any mystery novel I've ever read. Caroline Graham is a very good writer indeed, and one hopes that she will soon be publishing another book in the Inspector Barnaby series.

Another classic from the best living writer of English mysteries
2 Jan 2007
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Caroline Graham has never let me down. I'd put this book right up alongside "The Killings at Badgers Drift" as the best of a brilliant series. A reviewer thinks the loathsome Brian got too much print, but I loved every word of it. I've known men like him and I just knew he was going to get his in the end, and what a beautiful ending it is. It's hard to recommend one Graham mystery over another but don't miss this one.

Written In Blood
19 April 2001
Format:Paperback
I have loved Caroline Graham's books for some time now and I think this is her best. The characters are expertly drawn; Graham has a way of making you feel as if you are in amongst them and yet watching from a safe distance. The roller coaster ending was a complete surprise to me and I highly recommend this book to mystery readers.
