Murder: Mayhem and Murder Book II: Mayhem and Murder

Murder is a more than satisfying follow up ... and provides the whole story with a deeper and richer conclusion
Much grittier and scarier than its predecessor, Murder will take you to a very dark place. A wonderfully creepy experience
Historical fiction at its best as well as one of the better mystery novels that is likely to be published this year
Quality writing ... Very highly recommended
The succinct, efficient and yet multi-layered writing style works very well . . . Those looking for both visceral and psychological horror will enjoy this gore-soaked offering
Murder has all the elements I expected from Sarah Pinborough, excellent writing, mystery and a dark undertone that haunts the story throughout
A novel which stands alongside the best of this sort of genre blending from Michael Marshall Smith or John Connolly . . . A blend of the supernatural, horror, crime and psychological profiling which makes you care about the characters before turning their lives inside out. 9/10
It's extremely rare that I read an entire book in one sitting but I just couldn't put Murder down ... Sarah Pinborough has once again proven why she has earned a place on my extremely short list of favourite authors
The characterisation is spot on ... You can almost feel the fog seeping into your clothes as you turn the page . . . Meticulously researched, well written and totally engrossing
A compulsively readable story that starts as a conventional murder mystery and morphs, by degrees, into a horrifying supernatural thriller
