Natasha Cooper is a devious plotterObserver
An enjoyable and satisfying mysteryDaily Telegraph
Strong characterisation and sense of place put Cooper among the best in current crime writingPublishing News
I'm delighted that Trish Maguire will be available to readers again, I'm a great fan. Natasha Cooper is a compelling crime-writer; her stories always start with an intriguing premise and lead us through to a satisfying conclusion. But she's more than an assured story-teller. Cooper is fascinated by the nature of evil and each story is a contemporary fable, exploring the roots and the consequences of violence.Ann Cleeves
