Reviews for Sirens (#1 Aidan Watts)

Knox presents the city as pungently and uncompromisingly as Ian Rankin does Edinburgh * Guardian * A firecracker of a crime tale. His writing is taut, atmospheric and studded with eye-catching descriptions. An arresting new talent. * Metro * Razor-sharp urban noir - very special indeed. -- Lee Child Sirens is a powerhouse of noir. Joseph Knox owns Manchester and paints it in all its grimy colours. -- Val McDermid Thrilling, breathless stuff * Observer *
