Critic Reviews:

• " Carvel is already making the role his own. " – Carol Midgley (Times, UK)

• " What this retelling does capture is the writer's visceral evocation of murder. Death in James's world was not a game. It was brutal and violent. " – Christopher Stevens (Daily Mail, UK)

• " Lumbered with a boorish sidekick and a host of suspects played by estimable character actors and fresh-faced up-and-comers, Dalgliesh's first outing proves an absorbing bit of telly. " – Brad Newsome (Sydney Morning Herald)
