Product Description

Review

"'A Patricia Hall novel combines the best elements of mystery detection and thriller in one novel... They entertain with good detection, people to care about and a heroine of great courage and intellect.' Deadly Pleasures 'Hall's style is refreshingly clean and uncluttered, and her narrative achieves a powerful momentum as the layers of deception are stripped away. Her journalist protagonist is an intelligently realised character.' Times Literary Supplement 'Hall's characters have the smack-in-the-face quality of real life, are well-developed and, most importantly, co-exist with some very fine plotting indeed.' Crime Time"


Product Description

The May Anderson Hospital is the most controversial establishment in Bradfield. One of the few local clinics to offer abortions, it provokes strong reactions in the community. But when a young girl is gunned down as she walks out of the clinic, almost everyone is outraged. Who could do such a thing? Reporter Laura Ackroyd and her policeman boyfriend, DCI Michael Thackeray, are both soon immersed in the case. It quickly becomes clear that the maverick surgeon who runs the abortion unit, is not a popular man. - could the bullet have been intended for him? Is it something to do with the flamboyant American evangelist who has just swung into town with his rather intimidating entourage? Ackroyd and Thackeray are convinced that there is more to the case than meets the eye. And with very different attitudes towards the subject of abortion, it is not long before the issues raised threaten to destroy their own relationship...

5.0 out of 5 stars Another great addition to a terrific series, 18 Dec 2001
Patricia Hall continues to weave together important social concerns, the stormy relationship of her protagonists Michael Thackeray and Laura Ackroyd and a compelling mystery story. As with all her books you can read this one for any of the three strands but the really impressive feature is the way they are tied together.
This time the issues are those of abortion, cloning, the ethics of medical research and the problems of childlessness.
The book represents a return to form after Skeleton at the Feast, which although good, probably only merited 4.5 stars! Here Hall is back in Bradfield with all guns blazing. A book to move and provoke.
Go read and then read the whole series - they are among the best in contemporary Britsh mystery fiction.

3.0 out of 5 stars Definitely not frozen, 16 May 2009
As usual this book delivers on all levels. I thoroughly enjoy the fraught relationship between Ackroyd and Thackeray, will they ever have a meaningful conversation and say what they relly mean.

Apart from this the mystery is, as usual, professionally and graphically great. I have difficulty in puting these books down once started.

The only criticism I have is that the print is very small - It is OK for me but my husband, who ready mostly in bed has given up.
