ReviewsMcDermid demonstrates once again that she's as adept with matters of the heart as she is with murder., McDermid expertly blends her ingredients into a tense and often frightening crime novel. She writes incisively about the world we live in, ranging confidently from teenage technobabble to the politics of modern policing. Carol Jordan and Tony Hill are surely the most impressive double act in contemporary crime fiction., It takes great skill to handle so many narrative strands with clarity without sacrificing the suspense--but McDermid does so with apparent ease., Hill's own family crises and his 'will they, won't they' relationship with Jordan are expertly dovetailed into a wonderfully complex plot. McDermid is especially good at serving up a mix of hi-tech and old-fashioned coppering, as well as showing how proximity to extreme brutality can take its toll on even the toughest police officer., At a stroke, McDermid is already pushing our pleasure buttons. Hill and Jordan's 'will they, won't they' is one of the most intriguing in the crime field...[She] effortlessly finesses the accelerating tension as authoritatively as she characterizes her large cast. McDermid is a first-rate writer as Fever of the Bone resoundingly reminds us...[she is] at the peak of her profession., [ Fever of the Bone ] reminds us just how finely plotted and intelligently written McDermid's crime novels are. More, please--and soon., McDermid is both a fiendish plot strategist and a highly skilled writer, deftly delivering shocks, sometimes with no more than an out-of-place word., McDermid remains unrivaled at yoking chilling scenarios to a pulsing narrative...Hill's torment is palpable in this scary, dark thriller. Horrible and brilliant., About as good a psychological thriller as it is possible to get... Fever of the Bone is everything a great detective novel should be: pacey, gripping, clever, and stylish...A fantastic read.
