Fever Of The Bone by Val Mcdermid
Tony Hill and Carol Jordan make a nail-biting return in Val McDermid's most shocking novel yetShe is the real mistress of psychological gripping thrillers; no-one can plot or tell a story like she can. The hairs on my neck literally stood up. * Jenni Murray, Daily Express *
McDermid remains unrivalled at yoking chilling scenarios to a pulsing narrative; and Hill's torment is palpable in this scary, dark thriller. Brilliant * Observer *
Everything a great detective novel should be: pacy, gripping, clever and stylish and, most of all, a fantastic read. * Sunday Express *
Another cracker in the Tony Hill and Carol Jordan series from the most imaginative creator of serial killers we have. * Daily Mail *
Gripping, well-written, nail-biting stuff * Waterstone’s Books Quarterly *
One of our finest crime writers. * The Times *
A moving novel, not just a gripping one. * Financial Times *
As good a psychological thriller as it is possible to get. * Sunday Express *
McDermid's mastery of this genre is evident, particularly in her dialogue, in which there is rarely a false note. * TLS *
McDermid's books are getting better and better...an absorbing novel of character. * Literary Review *
...reminds us just how finely plotted and intelligently written McDermid's novels are. More please - and soon. * Irish Times *
