| Stuart Turton's forthcoming second book, The Devil and the Dark Water (Bloomsbury Raven, October 2020) has picked up a couple of lovely endorsements this week. Firstly, a Starred review from Kirkus: "[Turton] posed knotty challenges for readers, has a colourful tale to tell and does so in highly entertaining fashion... A devilish saga that never runs out of cutthroat conspiracies." Secondly, author Simon Lelic had this to say: "Stunningly good. A page-turning mystery on an epic scale, intricately plotted and expertly landed." |  |
