Bleeding Heart Square Avis

There are echoes of Agatha Christie in the complex plot set in 1934, but Taylor's portrait of desperate lives is infused with a sharp sense of class and politics as British society fractures under the threat of a world war * The Times, Top 100 Crime & Thrillers since 1945 *
Taylor is the modern master of a very Dickensian underworld... A sense of brooding evil pervades the complex plot, handled with great assurance * Independent *
The period atmosphere, as in all Taylor's work, is flawless. He simply gets better and better * Daily Telegraph *
