Acclaim for Blood on the Bulb Fields ‘Excellent read, gripping I couldn't put it down. More like this please.’ ‘Set in Holland, this whodunit kept me guessing to the very last page. It succeeds at every level - a fast-paced story full of suspense with lots of twists and turns - the tension relieved by light touches of humour - beautifully described background bringing back memories of Keukenhof, Delft and Amsterdam - and superb characterization. Peter Montgomery-Jones is a modern-day Mr Darcy - half the time you want to kick him in the shins, but you can't help loving him and the merry widow Gloria is a joy.’ ‘Wonderful stuff in true Cranswick style. This first book introducing Fiona Mason is great. I just love the way that we are taken on a tour of The Netherlands; the descriptions of the parks, towns and the wonderful profusions of colour really makes the reader ‘see’ the settings; even without the murders and mayhem, it’s a great read.
