Casting the First Stone - Tapa blanda

A very original take on the classic detective story . . . a crime novel with a difference (Essentials Magazine)

Fyfield has long found her way into the upper echelons of crime fiction by the dint of sharp psychological observation and stylish, elegant writing. Casting the First Stone is implacable; Fyfield customarily takes us into the less acceptable areas of her protagonists' behaviour, and here she takes this to a new level of intensity (Financial Times)

Fyfield has been described as the natural successor to American psychological writer Patricia Highsmith...because neither condemns the criminal behavious of their characters. There are some pleasingly unexpected twists as the plot reaches its denouement but it is the pairing of Sarah and Di that makes Casting the First Stone an enjoyable read. Spirited and engaging, the novel ends with the ballsy pair plotting their next heist together. Count us in (Sunday Express)

[A] wonderfully atmospheric tale (Shots)

One of our best crime writers...Dark and twisty, this is an elegant and thrilling read (Catholic Herald)

Like all Fyfield's work, this is an elegant, original and subtle crime novel and highly recommended (Literary Review)
