'A Christie-style closed-circle detective novel.' -- Literary Review on Cradle to Grave 'Loved it' -- Val McDermid on THE DARKNESS AND THE DEEP 'An unalloyed pleasure - an intelligent, character-driven crime novel.' -- Andrew Taylor on COLD IN THE EARTH 'Skilfully plotted and well-paced ... This book is a delight, from its leisurely start to the moving and unexpected finish.' -- Guardian on THE DARKNESS AND THE DEEP 'Interesting, atmospheric and - I predict - televisual' -- Literary Review on THE DARKNESS AND THE DEEP '[Aline Templeton] has demonstrated that, just when we thought Scotland was saturated with detectives, a strong woman can elbow her way in and find a unique niche.' -- Scotsman on COLD IN THE EARTH 'It is always a pleasure to read Aline Templeton, but THE DARKNESS AND THE DEEP must surely be her best book to date. Aline's characters are so beautifully drawn ...' -- J Wallis Martin 'A compelling read.' -- Margaret Yorke on COLD IN THE EARTH 'Templeton can always be relied on to provide a well-written, cleverly plotted, old-fashioned whodunit.' -- The Times
