Critics Review
“Will remind many of le Carr
Confirms Aly Monroe’s genius for creating such tension that, while nothing much happens, you don’t want things to stop not happening. She’s commercial writing’s rarest beast - a gloriously defiant individualist - Daily Telegraph
Monroe is terrific at evoking this world - GuardianMonroe conjures up an atmosphere as thick as the fog in grim, austere post-war London - Mail on SundayMonroe creates the atmosphere of the time brilliantly … an original novel and its people and places are so well described that I was gripped from start to finish - Literary ReviewA wonderfully atmospheric book - Euro CrimeOnce again, Monroe’s research is spot on and she paints her supporting cast with so many shades of grey that it makes a John Le Carr? novel look positively straightforward. This is wonderfully atmospheric - Shots MagazineDodgy underhand dealings, political manipulations as well as a labyrinth of twists and turns… Definitely an author to watch - Falcata TimesRiveting stuff - The TimesAbout The Author
