‘A superb historical novelist’ - Sunday Times

“Andrew Taylor is arguably the most consummate writer of historical crime fiction today’ - The Times

'Andrew Taylor... was given the thumbs up long ago for beautifully crafted, well written narratives combining subtlety, depth and that vital 'Oh, my God, what the hell is going to happen next?' factor, which is the driving force of the story-teller. He is also that rarity that can manage the semi-historical as well as the modern' - Daily Express
