Quotes

“As good a psychological thriller as it is possible to get. . . . Fever of the Bone is everything a great detective novel should be: pacey, gripping, clever and stylish and, most of all, a fantastic read.”


- Sunday Express
"McDermid is especially good at serving up a mix of hi-tech and old-fashioned coppering, as well as showing how proximity to extreme brutality can take its toll on even the toughest police officer."


- The Guardian
"Another cracker in the Tony Hill and Carol Jordan series from the most imaginative creator of serial killers we have. . . . McDermid's killers and their motives are always scarily plausible and the relationship between Tony and Carol continues to intrigue."


- Daily Mail (London)
Praise for Val McDermid:
 
“If you believe that every patch of ground comes with its own story, then Val McDermid is the storyteller for you. . . . Ingenious.”


- New York Times Book Review
"McDermid is unusual in her abilility to keep the suspense high while constructing social mysteries that are far-ranging in their implications. . . . McDermid brings to her mysteries an unusual capacity for compassion, both for victims and for the detectives whose lives are shattered tracking down the killers."


- Publishers Weekly (starred review)
 
"Smooth. Confident. Deeply satisfying. What else can you say about McDermid's writing."


- Entertainment Weekly
