Media Reviews
Praise for Giles Blunt: 'Intensely vivid characters, terrible crimes and a brutal deep-frozen landscape all prove beyond a reasonable doubt that cold nurtures good and evil as readily as heat!and that Giles Blunt is a really tremendous crime novelist.' Lee Child 'One of the finest crime novels I've ever read. Giles Blunt writes with uncommon grace, style and compassion and he plots like a demon. This book has it all -- unforgettable characters, beautiful language, throat-constricting suspense.' Jonathan Kellerman 'A superior Canadian police procedural with an evocative sense of place: the frozen lakes and forests are as integral to the plot as the flawed detective!an impressive achievement.' Guardian 'A highly professional tour de force: excellently plotted, with fleshed-out characters and a well-portrayed interesting setting.' Independent 'As fine a police procedural as any written in the USA...as fresh as morning dew...never less than fascinating throughout.' Independent on Sunday Praise for 'Forty Words for Sorrow': 'A taut and enthralling tale that is as dark as the Canadian winter setting is cold. Humane, intelligent and gripping, Forty Words for Sorrow is a haunting journey into the human heart in all its complexities.' Val McDermid 'A fine debut that deserves to do well, and promises much from a talented new author.' Time Out 'A highly professional tour de force.' Evening Standard Praise for 'The Delicate Storm': 'Another well-structured story with sharply-drawn characters.' Sunday Telegraph 'The most horrifying story since The Silence of the Lambs.
