Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

As always, Bruce produces a rewarding read (The Times)

A superb writer (Steve Mosby)

Menacing and insidious (R J Ellory)

Bruce is doing for Cambridge what Colin Dexter did for Oxford with Inspector Morse . . . She uses her city just as deftly as Dexter did his, however, and adds subtle touches of feminine intuition and guile. Her plots are deceptively simple, yet describe the frailties of the human heart with a rare skill . . . The death propels Goodhew back into police work. His innate dignity and Bruce's flair make her one of our most interesting crime writers (Daily Mail)

It's all orchestrated (from opening adagio to allegro finale) with authority (The Independent)

Unusual and interesting (The Times)
