Praise for Forty Words for Sorrow
Extraordinary for its psychology and tensions. Giles Blunt manages to inhabit the minds of killer, victim and investigator alike, a feat that very few writers can manage. It moves his work to a different level Jane Jakeman, Independent
A taut and enthralling tale that is as dark as the Canadian winter setting is cold. Humane, intelligent and gripping, Forty Words for Sorrow is a haunting journey into the human heart in all its complexities Val McDermid
This Canadian novel is as fine a police procedural as any written in the USA and doesnt rely on others for ideas it comes across as fresh as morning dew never less than fascinating throughout Mark Timlin, Independent on Sunday
A highly professional tour-de-force: excellently plotted, with fleshed-out characters and a well-portrayed, interesting setting TJ Binyon, Evening Standard
