Martin Edwards

 

 

Reviews

'The novels successfully combine the style of the traditional English detective story with a darker noir sensibility.'
Crime Time

'Martin Edwards is one of the finest stylists and most perceptive crime writers of his generation. His gifts are of the more classical variety--there are points in his novels when I think I'm reading Graham Greene--and that recognition has begun to attract the attention of book buyers as it has so long attracted the attention of reviewers.'
Ed Gorman (February 2006)

'Martin Edwards is up there with the Masters.'
Mystery Readers Journal

'The picturesque qualities of Northern England's touristy area are fabulously described, and make a superior scenic backdrop for this otherwise dark tale of labyrinthine convoluted relationships and secrets galore, all waiting to be unearthed by skilled scavengers....'
