Product Description

PUBLISHING NEWS
'Here we have a Southern crime writer every bit as good as his Scottish counterpart'

Review
'Hurley's decent, persistent cop is cementing his reputation as one of Britain's most credible official sleuths... a brilliantly depicted microcosm of contemporary Britain. His investigations are realistic and authoritative... a sterling demonstration of the way crime writing can target society's woes.' (GUARDIAN Maxim Jakubowski )

'Excellent... Another first rate thriller from a writer who is firmly up there with the best' (SUNDAY TELEGRAPH Susanna Yager )

'There is no doubt that his series of police-procedural novels is one of the best since the genre was invented more than half a century ago... As always Hurley has pulled off the trick of filling his pages with downbeat, depressing details and making them into an upbeat enjoyable read.' (LITERARY REVIEW )

'Blood and Honey shows why Graham Hurley is at the forefront of British crime writers... [he] again proves himself a champion of the genre' (WATERSTONES BOOKS QUARTERLY )

'Graham Hurley is a safe pair of hands at delivering slightly grungy, atmospheric crime novels and is here true to form.' (SPECTATOR )

'extremely realistic and very convincing' (CRIMESQUAD.COM )

'A riveting read, with two intense storylines and more than an injection of human trials and tribulations to make it more than just a crime book. 10/10' (PETERBOROUGH EVENING TELEGRAPH )

'a brilliantly depicted microcosm of contemporary Britain... realistic and authoritative... a sterling demonstration of the way crime writing can target society's woes.' (GUARDIAN )

'There is no doubt that his series of police-procedural novels is one of the best since the genre was invented more than half a century ago...' (LITERARY REVIEW )

'A Southern crime writer every bit as good as his Scottish counterpart [Ian Rankin]' (PUBLISHING NEWS )

3.0 out of 5 stars More of a Paul Winter mystery, 8 Oct 2007
Not bad. Plot is confusing and goes nowhere. Relationship between Winter and Maddox (prostitute), and Winter's illness, which seem incidental to begin with, are what sustain the book and make it worthwhile reading. Faraday is almost secondary and his deaf son J. J. (a strong presence in previous novels in the series) barely makes an appearance.

3.0 out of 5 stars Faraday is back, but not to his best., 3 Jul 2007
Having read and really enjoyed the other Faraday novels I was eager to get this one. To be honest it is probably the weakest of the series as if Hurley was looking for insperation. While not a bad book, in my opinion it wasn't as good as the others as it seemed to lack the pace and twists we've come to love from Faraday and Winter. Stick with it though as the main characters are there as usual along with their roller coaster lives.

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent read, 1 Jun 2008
By P. Horrex "bristolre" (Ipswich, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I found this book excellent, Paul Winter as usual being the best of the characters. But you had to feel for the alleged criminals, Lajla and Pelly. I felt the ending was as good as it should be. Having struggled to read Peter Robinson's latest Inspector Banks novel prior to reading this (Friend of the Devil), I found Hurley's Blood and Honey un-put-downable. Highley recommended, but always better if you'd read the novels in sequence.
