An Air That Kills by Andrew Taylor
The first in the acclaimed Lydmouth crime series, set on the Welsh/English border in the years after World War IICaptures perfectly the drab atmosphere and cloying morality of the 1950s. . Taylor is an excellent writer. He plots with care and intelligence and the solution to the mystery is satisfyingly chilling * The Times *
There is no denying Taylor's talent, his almost Victorian prose exudes a quality uncommon among his contemporaries... his eye for detail and an enviable ability to dissect relationships and communal habits make for a pleasurable read * Time Out *
Engrossing launch of a series . . . Taylor subtly weaves the threads of this thoughtful, melancholy tale until they become an interlaced whole before the reader's eyes * Publishers Weekly *
