Blackwater by James Henry
'A fast-moving thriller with strong characters, dark humour and a terrific sense of place. I was totally absorbed by it' Elly Griffiths
Vivid and compelling, with great evocation of the 1980s period-- Peter James
James Henry has done it again with another taut, highly atmospheric police procedural! -- Simon Kernick
Perfectly structured, authentically bred from its bleak and watery setting, Blackwater gives us a new Essex reimagined as a noir landscape. -- Lawrence Osborne, author of The Forgiven
The smell of the marshes permeates every page . . . This is old-style policing set in an interesting period, and it's an encouraging start to what is likely to be an engaging series. -- Geoffrey Wansell * Daily Mail *
This is great stuff. -- Peter Robinson on First Frost
A brilliant read, I can't recommend it highly enough. -- Martina Cole on First Frost
A palpable hit . . . [a] dark, but glittering pearl. -- Barry Forshaw on First Frost
Brilliantly engineered police procedural. * Daily Mirror *
A fast-moving thriller with strong characters, dark humour and a terrific sense of place. I was totally absorbed by it. * Elly Griffiths *
