'The writing is, as always with Robinson, colourful and evocative, and the characters are brilliant in their unpersonable way. This book is a must for Robinson completists, of course, but also for anyone who appreciates good stories well told.' -- Globe and Mail, Canada Praise for Piece of My Heart and Friend of the Devil -- : 'Peter Robinson has for too long, and unfairly, been in the shadow of Ian Rankin; perhaps PIECE OF MY HEART, the latest in the Chief Inspector Banks series, will give him the status he deserves, near, perhaps even at the top of, the British crime writers' league ... PIECE OF MY HEART brilliantly interweaves past and present, providing two strands of tension for the price of one, and further enhancing Alan Banks's reputation as one of crime fiction's most appealing cops.' -- Marcel Berlins, The Times 'Peter Robinson is good at producing ingenious mysteries, and this one does not disappoint' -- Susanna Yager, Daily Telegraph 'A police procedural that grips like pliers' -- Independent on Sunday 'the writing is well up to the author's high standard' -- The Times 20080816
