Praise for Death Of A Dutchman

'Credible, classy and compelling, this is crime fiction at its best'

Sunday Times

'The intrigue is absorbing, and the Florentine background brilliantly portrayed... We fans...are as fascinated by [Guarnaccia's] diet as by his deductions.'

Evening Standard

'A perfect example of crime-and-pleasure... so cunningly plotted that it is only at the end that you realise that not one strand of the intricate tapestry has been superfluous...'

Antonia Fraser, Spectator

'Wonderfully satisfying'
