Her short, sparse accounts of things going wrong and innocent people getting caught up in events beyond their control never fails to induce a powerful sense of apprehension and foreboding * Guardian *
Wholly-and distressingly- believable * Times Literary Supplement *
Yorke has an extraordinary feel for the passions that lurk beneath unremarkable facades * Sunday Times *
There is not a word wasted in Margaret Yorke's deftly constructed crime novels, yet they have a hinterland greater than many novels twice the lengthHer understanding of the faultlines that run through human beings is second to none * Diane Setterfield *
