Killing with Confetti by Peter Lovesey
Bath detective Peter Diamond finds himself at a prestigious wedding that ends in murder...
While there are laughs along the way, this would not be a Peter Lovesey novel without edge-of-the-seat tensionCrime fiction of the highest grade * Daily Mail *
Lovesey spins a tricksy plot with dark humour and red herrings galore * Peterborough Evening Telegraph *
Fun is something guaranteed by the name Peter Lovesey on a book cover...plenty of twists and misdirections * Morning Star *
Mr Lovesey has been writing his Peter Diamond series for nearly three decades, and it's a pleasure to note no discernible flagging of energy in author or detective * Wall Street Journal *
With its unexpected twists and turns, Peter Lovesey scores another hit with Killing with Confetti, keeping the reader guessing all the way to the altar * Shots Mag *
As with all of Lovesey's books it is compulsive reading, especially when Peter Diamond comes on the scene. It has an intriguing plot, with some moments of high tension, and Lovesey's trademark dry humour. As always, the characterisation is superb. Diamond and his team are familiar and well-loved friends, all with their own quirks but all likeable. The theme that runs through the book is the corrosive nature of ambition, greed and entitlement, and the fundamental integrity of Peter Diamond shines through. Killing With Confetti is a page turner, which I would recommend * Mystery People *
