Cradle to Grave

'After this nod to the traditions of a Christie-style closed-circle detective novel, Templeton gets into her (entirely contemporary) stride, as the private lives of the Scottish detectives are considered in parallel with the suspicious deeds of murder suspects and victims. A satisfying story with a well-balanced combination of human and criminal problems.'

Templeton can always be relied on to provide a well-written, cleverly plotted, old-fashioned whodunit.

'The vivid characterisation, excellent description and a horrible sense of inevitability make Cradle to Grave a riveting read.'

'Templeton can always be relied on to provide a well-written, cleverly plotted, old-fashioned whodunit.'

Aline Templeton has created a classic who-dunnit, which could easily have been penned by the queen of crime writing herself - Agatha Christie . . . This is an intelligent, character-driven novel, skilfully plotted and well-paced from its leisurely start to ist moving and unexpected climax.

'A Christie-style closed-circle detective novel.'
