Critics Review
Deft characterisation, convoluted plot and more red herrings than the North Sea - Under the Marsh is a deft page-turner that doesn’t disappoint.
Deft characterisation, convoluted plot and more red herrings than the North Sea - Under the Marsh is a deft page-turner that doesn’t disappoint. * Andrew Greig *
An intriguing mystery that brings the Scottish highlands and those who live there vividly to life. I loved it. * Marion Todd *
Chilling and breathtaking all at once, Under the Marsh grabs you by the throat from the off and it never lets you go. Stellar writing and GR Halliday’s best yet. * Jonathan Whitelaw *
Loved it. A fabulously atmospheric read. Thoroughly enjoyed the past and present strands that kept me guessing throughout. So cleverly done. There were many ways it could’ve gone but, the way it did, was such a satisfying end. * Deborah Masson *
G.R. Halliday has created a wonderfully atmospheric and taut novel with UNDER THE MARSH. Perfectly paced and deliciously misleading, I was led down various different rabbit holes to find out what had happened, and to keep this level of intrigue is something so difficult now in this genre! Hugest congratulations. * L.V. Matthews *
Dark crimes, and the motivations behind them, are thrown into sharp relief against the enduring backdrop of the Scottish landscape. As addictive as Sue Grafton, with DI Monica Kennedy easily a match for Kinsey Millhone. Now I want to read all the others in the series immediately! * Emma Bamford *
A tremendously atmospheric and tense read with fantastic characters who leap off the page and guide the story to a hugely satisfying conclusion. Brilliant. – Emma Christie
An engrossing read * UK Press Syndication *

Halliday now lives in the rural Highlands outside of Inverness, where he is able to pursue his favourite pastimes of mountain climbing and swimming in the sea, before returning home to his band of semi-feral cats.
