Review:
"Dark and extraordinary. This book is a real gem, as are McDowall's earlier books . . . read it and savor every word." —Crimespree magazine
"A lean, impressive debut . . . Kerr and Jacobson are a resolutely uncharming pair of policemen who are a pleasure to meet, and who offer hopes for more rich reading in future additions to the series." —Washington Post on A Study in Death
"A police procedural par excellence . . . intriguing and riveting . . . a page-turner 'til the end. Highly recommended." —I Love A Mystery
"Iain McDowall has retained his gift for prescience in understanding crime, its performance and meaning . . . Iain Mcdowall is giving us the bigger picture." —Shots Magazine
"A lean, impressive debut . . . Kerr and Jacobson are a resolutely uncharming pair of policemen who are a pleasure to meet, and who offer hopes for more rich reading in future additions to the series." —Washington Post on A Study in Death
