One of the most accomplished crime writers in the country

- Mark Billingham,

No matter how dark and grisly the world of her novels, Cooper never loses sight of the compassion and emotional intelligence that have become keynote elements of her work

- Val McDermid,

You know when you pick up a book by Natasha Cooper that you are going to find a literate, intelligent novel about real people . . . A complex and satisfying mystery . . . Like real life, a happy ending isn't guaranteed in this series, which increases the tension

TLS

Cooper is expert at detailing the effects of emotional crossfire. She turns her penetrating but compassionate gaze on the duties of parents and those <i>in loco parentis</i>, and on the complexity of loyalty and trust - at home and at work

Guardian

I'm delighted that Trish Maguire will be available to readers again, I'm a great fan. Natasha Cooper is a compelling crime-writer; her stories always start with an intriguing premise and lead us through to a satisfying conclusion. But she's more than an assured story-teller. Cooper is fascinated by the nature of evil and each story is a contemporary fable, exploring the roots and the consequences of violence.
