REVIEWS:
‘Impressive… strong characterization and a relentless race against time to avert the worst carry the reader along the thick pages of this psychological and legal thriller with a difference.’ — Time Out
‘Intriguing thriller (with a) …dogged and sexy French detective. Treat yourself.’ — Prima
‘Matthews delivers one of the best debut thrillers in years, brave, ambitious and remorselessly entertaining. Past Imperfect is a stormer.’ — Dublin Evening Herald
‘Matthews maintains the suspense… an engrossing odyssey into the seamy side of a world that is so near, yet sometimes seems so far. Compulsive reading.’ — The Times
‘One of the most compelling novels I’ve read… an ambitious and big novel which will keep you enthralled to its last page.’ — Cork Examiner
‘Matthews certainly knows how to keep the reader hungry for the next revelation’.
– Kirkus UK.
Distinctively written… all the forceful energy of the best thrillers.
– Kirkus Reviews.
Gripping, pulse-racing. A police departments determination to bring down a leading crime family merged with one woman’s quest to uncover a secret past…. Brilliant!
– Evening Herald.
If you think in terms of the sort of ‘woman in jeopardy’ mysteries that Nicci French writes so well, blended with a harder-edged ‘Sopranos’-style thriller, then you’ll have nailed the heart of this story. Strongly sketched characters and emotions make this one stand out from the pack.
– Murder One.
… a novelist of real accomplishment.

If Vince Flynn and John Grisham got together to tackle probably the most controversial issue of the past two decades – Gun Control – this is what they might come up with. Hair-trigger suspense all the way. Electrifying.
