Reviews
Devilishly engaging characters and authentic details of police operations
A consistently entertaining series
His story is plotted elaborately but convincingly and the settings are well-visualised
A realistic look at the challenges of modern-day policing, bolstered by sardonic British humour and a twisty plot
Excels at twisty, psychological suspense
