Fall Down Dead

Clever, beautifully written and superbly plotted, this is an entertaining page-turner with a compelling twist in the tail. * Lancashire Evening Post * The brooding presence of Kinder Scout, the highest point in the Peak District, hangs over Stephen Booth's fine novel Fall down Dead * Sunday Times * The Peak District setting is as striking as ever . . . the ever-present threat of violence will get under your skin. * Real Crime * The master of this territory * Sunday Express * This is an enjoyable, very readable yet understated crime novel by an accomplished author. * Crime Fiction Lover * The highest of the Derbyshire peaks is the dramatic setting . . . Gripping * The Times * All through the book is a chilld atsmophere and it gives a tight edginess to the tale. Another excellent read from Booth * Sunday Sport * An elegant reflection of what's happening in the country at large. * The Book Bag * I love reading about these characters. I love the world in which Ben moves and I really enjoy the cases with which he is confronted. I always look forward to the next installment of this wonderful series. * For Winter Nights * A compelling read with well-developed characters. Equally fascinating was the way the background to the group of hikers was revealed, and eventually the killer was unmasked. But I didn't guess who! Most highly recommended * Mystery People * As ever in Booth's long-running, award-winning and hugely popular Peak District series, it's the extraordinary landscape and its often violent history that most captivates the reader * Morning Star *
