Critics Review

This is great stuff.

Vivid and compelling, with great evocation of the 1980s period. - Peter James

James Henry has done it again with another taut, highly atmospheric police procedural! - Simon Kernick

Perfectly structured, authentically bred from its bleak and watery setting, Blackwater gives us a new Essex reimagined as a noir landscape. - Lawrence Osborne

The smell of the marshes permeates every page … This is old-style policing set in an interesting period, and it’s an encouraging start to what is likely to be an engaging series. - Daily Mail

A palpable hit … [a] dark, but glittering pearl. - The Independent

Brilliantly engineered police procedural. - Daily Mirror
