Praise for Douglas Lindsay and the DI Westphall series
Boy in the Well is a dark and satisfying mystery. I thoroughly enjoyed my time in the company of DI Ben Westphall, a compelling personality. I look forward to his next instalment. This one comes thoroughly recommended
A Tartan Noir tour de force. Lindsay writes with an economy and skill all too rare in modern fiction . . . Brilliant
Richly atmospheric . . . Lindsay solidifies his place as one of the rising stars of tartan noir
Lindsay blends the past and present with eerie, supernatural undertones, building a mysterious puzzle that you have to unravel
Lindsay has crafted a chilling, well-paced thriller that spans a range of time periods with a case of deeply disturbing characters, all set against a dramatic Highlands backdrop.
