Product Description

Review
'Kerr and Jacobson are a resolutely uncharming pair of policemen who are a pleasure to meet, and who offer hopes for a more rich reading in future additions to the series.' WASHINGTON POST 'Compares favourably with Ian Rankin... a compelling, fast-moving story that leaves the reader wondering where he will go from here.' PUBLISHERS WEEKLY 'has a vivid sense of place... wonderfully characterised.' Andrew Taylor 'Iain McDowall has a superb ear for dialogue... very realistic.' NEW BOOKS MAGAZINE 'Scores on all fronts - good writing, good characters, solid plotting, highly readable and politically astute.' MORNING STAR 'A cracking pace.' MANCHESTER EVENING NEWS

Manchester Evening News
A cracking pace.

5.0 out of 5 stars Highly recommended, 6 Mar 2006
By A Customer
I really enjoyed this book. Once I’d started reading, I couldn’t put it down until I’d read all the way to the last page. It’s fast paced and so well written. I found I really cared about the characters and about how the story would turn out. I hadn’t read any of Iain Mcdowall’s books before but now I’m going to order the other ones as well. Highly recommended if you like crime fiction that doesn’t insult your intelligence.

4.0 out of 5 stars Enjoyable, 11 April 2007
By I. H. Robinson (Woodstock, Ontario) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I had to constantly remind myself that this book was written by Iain McDowell and not Peter Robinson. The storyline and characters were Robinsonesque. I hope DS Kerr manages to work things out with his wife!! Realistic and informative.

1.0 out of 5 stars Good Plot but...., 16 Feb 2006
By A Customer
The storyline was good but the author seems to lack a flowing style and the writing is amateurish in places. I stuck with it because I wanted to know the ending despite it all being rather obvious. A bit like wading through mud with socks on!
