H R F Keating recommends
Hot Potato (2003)
(Fizz and Buchanan, book 7)
Joyce Holms
"Every now and again we are lucky enough to be given a crime writer whose work has that cherishable mark of difference. Joyce Holms is one of that rare band."
The Reckoning (1999)
Ted Allbeury
"Allbeury's people are real in the sense that Greene's or Maugham's are."
The Devil in Disguise (1998)
(Harry Devlin, book 6)
Martin Edwards
"How good to find a crime novel that doesn't rely on lurid violence to beat you into submission. Instead, here's solid storytelling everyday, Liverpool legal background and a nice scattering of perky jokes."
