Trade ReviewBrilliant in twisting the tension tauter with each page * * Guardian * *
The terrific cast of characters keep the action and detection compelling * * Time Out * *
Gripping, relevant, compelling and laced with trademark Ramsay bite -- Craig Robertson
Dark Water is a novel of unnerving precision and narrative weight. Ramsay should be considered alongside McDermid and Rankin as one of the great crime writing Scots * * Crimeshot Magazine * *
Ramsay handles her characters with aplomb, the dialogue crackles and the search for the killer has surprising twists and turns * * Observer * *
