The plot is intricate and keeps you guessing until thevery last minute . . . This series has brilliantly established itself and this latest is another masterpiece from Barbara Nadel. Long may it continue!
There's no shortage of crime fiction set in London yet it's not often it's of a standard as high as this. Definitely not one to miss
An intelligent crime novel that explores the fractures that can occur in a multi-cultural, multi-religious community... Well written and thoughtful, this is a powerful novel that addresses serious issues and also provides some good thrills
