Praise for Denzil Meyrick
:
Absorbing . . . no run-of-the-mill tartan noir.
The Times
You'll have a blast with these.
Ian Rankin
Spellbinding . . . one of the UK's most loved crime writers.
The Sunday Post
If you like Rankin, MacBride and Oswald, you'll love Meyrick.
The Sunday Mail
The right amount of authenticity . . . gritty writing . . . most memorable.
The Herald
In high demand across the globe . . . A runaway hit . . . Readers instantly warm to Daley.
Daily Mail
Universal truths ... an unbuttoned sense of humour ... engaging and eventful.
Wall Street Journal
What a cracking series! As a crime writer, the highest compliment I can give is to say I've yet to work out an ending.
Lin Anderson
Touches of dark humour, multi-layered and compelling.
Daily Record
One of Scotland's finest writers in any genre.
SWH
A happy book, one that should find its place under countless Christmas trees.
Scotsman
Plotting and character creation are the two essentials of mystery fiction. Denzil Meyrick is a proven master of both: as evidence, I cite Murder at Holly House. Best read of the year.
Quintin Jardine
A wonderfully entertaining mystery with great characters, setting and period detail.
Ian Moore, bestselling author of Death and Croissants
Murder at Holly House' might be the most surprising book I've read this year. With all Meyrick's trademark ingenious plotting, guile and humour, this is a sure-fire set up for a very satisfying series.
S. G. MacLean
Meyrick has concocted a clever tale that is at once humorous, thrilling, cosy and noirish, melding all these elements into one hugely entertaining package.
Douglas Skelton
Murder at Holly House is a complete joy of a historical Christmas crime novel. All the elements of a classic crime caper shot through with Yorkshire humour, cracking characters and an evocative setting. Bumbling yet brilliant Inspector Frank Grasby is the detective hero we've been waiting for. I'm crossing my fingers for more cases to come!
Miranda Dickinson
Meyrick is a literary genius. As chilling as a Yorkshire winter with dark humour and likeable, flawed characters. I loved this book.
Michael Wood
This was a whole load of fun. A propulsive historical thriller with wonderful characters that make the pages fly. Terrific stuff.
Neil Lancaster
Your new festive fave. . .a dead body stuck up the chimney, a stumped detective, lies, twists, and Meyrick’s renowned storytelling and wit.
My Weekly
A quintessential slice of Yuletide murder mystery.
Sun
A thoroughly enjoyable book filled with marvellous characters, skilfully drawn settings and very clever twists.
Gazette & Herald
A hugely entertaining story with an authentic period feel, making it a satisfying, escapist yarn for the cold, dark nights ahead.
The Herald
A successful foray into the tricky world of comic crime.
The Scotsman
An entertaining cosy crime mystery.
Scots Magazine
A thoroughly enjoyable book filled with marvellous characters, skilfully drawn settings and clever twists – a crime Christmas stocking must!
Yorkshire Life
The feel-good factor of this frantic farce is off the scale. A healing comedy.
The Times
Told with a good dollop of tongue-in-cheek humour, warmth, and the kind of quirky characters any reader would be happy to spend time with. It’s a fun book. Playful. One to make you smile.
Stuart MacBride
Intricately plotted and laced with deliciously dark humour.
The Sunday Post
A fine, intricately plotted, seasonal mystery, shot through with black humour.
Mail on Sunday
