‘Pel and his procedurals are some of the best things since Maigret’ Observer ‘Totally convincing’ Financial Times ‘Mr Hebden has created a nice band of flics’ Oxford Times ‘Chief Inspector Evariste Clovis Désiré Pel, as well rounded a character as Maigret or Van der Valk’ Punch ‘Impeccable French ambience, unexaggerated flics, and a well-constructed solution. Hebden proves again that few understand Gallic cops better than English writers!’ The Times ‘Some characters grow as their saga lengthens and Pel… is one of them. You might say he is ripening along with the grapes’ Police Review ‘…written with downbeat humour and some delightful dialogue’ Financial Times ‘…all is most cunningly contrived and dovetailed into a coherent plot’ Irish Times ‘A thoroughly entertaining read’ Evening Standard ‘The best Gallic sleuth since Maigret’ London Mystery Selection
