Critics Review

Once again Kerr leads us through the fact of history and the vagaries of human nature

Kerr’s period detail is utterly convincing… a sophisticated thriller that brings the war and its aftermath to life - Independent

Kerr brilliantly evokes the edgy atmosphere of the post-war period in one of the most gripping and accomplished detective novels published so far this year - Sunday Times

The pace is cracking, the dialogue crisply Chandleresque, the characterisation refreshingly stereotype-free. Kerr’s research, historical and geographical, is all but faultless - The Times

The scope and breadth of Philip Kerr’s historical research, and the subtle complexity of plot structure, are worthy of Le Carre. The fast-paced, crack-a-minute delivery smacks of Chandler. The comparisons are inevitable, but Kerr parries the plaudits with ease - Irish Examiner
