Ash and Bone starts where Flesh and Blood left off, in every sense. Harvey once again gets everything right, jangling the nerves and plucking the heart-strings as he leads us sure-footedly through a complex plot whose disparate elements he holds in perfect balance. Another marvellous read.
- Reginald Hill,
John Harvey is one of my favourite writers. Whenever he has a new book out it goes to the top of my reading list. And I haven't been disappointed yet.
- Peter Robinson,
Ash & Bone, like everything I've read of Harvey's, is distinguished by seriousness, sophistication and stylistic elegance.
Washington Post
John Harvey continues to delight all readers who relish his hard-boiled gritty style and recognise the authenticity of his English inner city settings.
Daily Mail
Immaculately engineered thriller...Harvey's book is fast, fluent and exciting, with a pace and assurance that never lets up.
