Mortal Remains by Gregory Hall
A major new author in the Robert Goddard tradition joins HarperCollins. Mortal Remains is a brilliantly plotted story of crime and passion that unravels in the double-narratives of a woman and her recently returned ne’er-do-well brother in a large house in Oxfordshire. There are elements of crime and psychological thriller, but principally, this is just a fabulously good read that you could recommend to anybody who doesn’t mind staying up all night to finish a book.“A splendid pacy blend of romance, thriller and scientific mystery with a compellingly intricate plot”
Robert Goddard
“A real mystery thrillerWhat an achievement to conceive such an ingenious combination of convoluted complications and how cunningly it all came right in the end. A really good read”
John Timpson
“Occasionally it happens! A reviewer picks up a first novel by an unknown author and finds he has a jewel. That is the case with The Dark Backward”
Books Magazine
“This atonishingly assured first novel falls into
`rattlingly good thriller’
category. The tension builds relentlessly: I couldn’t put the book down till the last paragraph and that was at 3 am”
Good Housekeeping
“A highly impressive debut… wonderfully atmospheric with a hazy mist of violence and regret reminiscent of early Barbara Vine”
The Sunday Times
`No-one can accuse Gregory Hall of depriving readers of excitement in his riveting new novel MORTAL REMAINS… nothing is what it seems in this compelling tale’
Oxford Mail
