Call The Dying by Andrew Taylor

Call The Dying by Andrew Taylor

The seventh in the acclaimed Lydmouth crime series, set on the Welsh/English border in the years after World War II

'Andrew Taylor's latest addition to his "Lydmouth" murder series perfectly evokes that innocent world of the 1950sThe book is wonderfully redolent of that era, except that it has psychological depth instead of Christie-type cliches. Taylor builds a gripping story, as redolent of the period as brown linoleum. His subtle exploration of provincial society, with its gruesome underbelly, makes this a powerful extension to the series.' - Independent
How skilfully he recreates the atmosphere of the time through innuendo, attitude and detail rather than dogged description . . . Taylor is the master of small lives writ large * Frances Fyfield, Express on The Suffocating Night *
'This is top of the class. Taylor's re-creation of the 1950s is absolutely convincing.' - Sue Baker's Top 10 crime & thriller titles, Publishing News
The most underrated crime writer in Britain today * Val McDermid *
Andrew Taylor is one of the most interesting, if not THE most interesting novelist writing on crime in England today * Harriet Waugh, Spectator *
Taylor is an excellent writer * The Times *
The people depicted here are real and believable and the drabness and genteel facade of Fifties England is skilfully brought to life. Taylor is, as always, adept at showing the reality beneath the surface * Sunday Telegraph *
CALL THE DYING is expert, ingenious and absorbing, with its eye trained on horizons lying in wait * Spectator *
Full of nostalgic detail, this is old-fashion crime at its best * The Times *
