Reviews 1. ‘Crime at its best’---------The Sunday Times2. ‘Enthralling’---------Observer3. ‘Taylor’s Lydmouth novels are turning the classical detective story into a complex picture of our own past.’---------Independent4. ‘I am a fan of Andrew Taylor, who continues to evoke provincial England brilliantly in his Lydmouth novels….Naked to the Hangman fills in the personal history of his tormented detective, Chief Inspector Thornhill, revealing the horrors that he witnessed as a young police officer in Palestine in the closing days of the British mandate. It is a far cry from those events to a dancing class in Lydmouth, which is where the English scenes open, but Taylor draws the two worlds perfectly’----------The Sunday Times
