The Running Grave is pure joy -- Sophie Hannah * Mail on Sunday *
The genre of crime fiction is such a wide one... it's often difficult to pin down which books are the best.

[Galbraith] nails the slow burn of indoctrination and how even those of sound mind, intelligence and even scepticism, can find themselves trapped -- Anne Cunningham * Sunday Independent *
