Praise for The Shadows in the Street

A crime tale with an emotional core

Herald

A crime series that specialises in sidestepping conventions, always to exhilarating effect. These books succeed in harnessing all the genre's addictive power while maintaining a complexity and fascination entirely their own

Independent

Susan Hill's Serrailler novels, with their persuasively-drawn copper and his equally well-rounded family, are real treats

Barry Forshaw, Daily Express

Nothing's quite as it seems, except Hill's brilliantly compelling prose

Daily Mirror

There's something reassuringly Victorian about Hill's literary values

Jane Jakeman, Independent

Susan Hill is extremely rare if not unique in having achieved enormous literary success in two genres, that of so-called straight novels and crime fiction... Deeply engrossing and enjoyable

Antonia Fraser, The Lady

Intriguing

Lesley McDowell, Herald

This is a very good, very addictive read

The Bookbag

Exhilarating

Independent

Brilliantly compelling

Daily Mirror
