Classic Robinson: labyrinthine plot merged with deft
characterisation
*Observer*
[Peter Robinson deserves a place] near, perhaps even at the top of,
the British crime writers' league
*The Times*
Gut-wrenching plotting, alongside heart-wenching portraits of the
characters who populate his world . . . top-notch police
procedure
*Jeffery Deaver*
If Robinson is to turn out one-off novels as assured as this
perhaps we wouldn't mind too much if Alan Banks was to retire and
take up beekeeping in Sussex
