Trick Of The Dark (Paperback)

Wonderfully compelling stuff. * Daily Mail *
A workout for the grey cells, perfectly executed. * Daily Telegraph *
This standalone from the Scottish force of nature, and creator of Robson Green's Wire In The Blood TV series, is a brutally clever story. * Daily Mirror *
Keeps you guessing till the last page. * Bella *
Plenty of surprises in store... A touching portrait of a group of young women on the verge of coming out about their sexuality in the hothouse atmosphere of an Oxford college. * Sunday Times *
McDermid, as usual, plots and writes with a commanding elegance. * The Times *
Sensitive and insightful. * Guardian *
McDermid writes a fluid, compelling novel of manners underpinned by a believable plot, and Charlie Flint is a fascinating addition to the canon of female investigators. * Irish Times *
An accomplished thriller, jumping from the past to the present and back with ease, taking in a range of characters and their perspectives. For me, the sign of a good thriller is that it leaves you pondering not whodunit within the pages but howdunit - how did the writer craft such a tricky tale - afterwards. Trick of the Dark had me ruminating for days. * Independent *
