Product Description

The Times
'Taylor is an excellent writer'

Review
'The people depicted here are real and believable and the drabness and genteel facade of Fifties England is skilfully brought to life. Taylor is, as always, adept at showing the reality beneath the surface, as the characters interact and the unsavoury truth behind the murder is gradually revealed' (Sunday Telegraph )

'How skilfully he recreates the atmosphere of the time through innuendo, attitude and detail rather than dogged description . . .Taylor is the master of small lives writ large' (Frances Fyfield, Express (on THE SUFFOCATING NIGHT )

'Taylor is an excellent writer' (The Times )

'What makes these novels transcend the average mystery is the author's uncanny ability to create another era so comprehensively that the reader is walking along the same pavements and driving the same cars' (Independent )

4.0 out of 5 stars An unexpected twist, 29 Nov 2001
By A Customer
Mr Taylor throws many options into the pot for the murderer. He also zooms along at a pace and you think you know where you're going with the plot after you've turned every corner, as he directs. Until the bitter end. Twists and turns and a final twist from the unexpected. A very entertaining read and a wonderful excursion into the 50s.

4.0 out of 5 stars An exciting crime novel , 17 Aug 2006
By Shauna Kenney (East Anglia, UK) - See all my reviews
Moved at a good pace and had a well thought out plot that contained plenty of twists and turns before its climactic conclusion.
