Critics Review
-
Well into Martina Cole territory
Independent on The Debt
-
Action, intrigue and a character-driven plot are delivered in well-written style, sure to please any crime fiction fans.
Woman on The Debt
-
You might expect a crime novel written by the widow of Reg Kray would be tough... and it is. Recommend this to fans of Ian Rankin.
