With the deaths of PD James and Ruth Rendell, Val McDermid is the obvious successor as Britain's Queen of Crime. For me, she has already held that title for many years. Her latest novel, starring the socially awkward but clever criminal profiler Tony Hill and ace detective Carol Jordan, demonstrates her supremacy -- Marcel Berlins * The Times *
McDermid still writes with the telltale verve that's won her the accolade queen of psychological thrillers * Guardian *
No one rivals Val McDermid's skill at writing truly terrifying thrillers * goodhousekeeping.co.uk *
