The Death of Remembrance is a properly frightening tale in parts, then, but there's plenty of humour too, and it’s also a fascinating study of how both policing and crime have changed
The Scotsman
Meyrick’s ability to keep the pages turning almost of their own accord marks the Death of Remembrance as top-drawer crime fiction
The Herald
Daley is a character complete with depths, currents and sudden changes of the Atlantic ocean that crashes against Kinloch’s harbour walls. The remote peninsula and the claustrophobic nature of small-town life are perfectly painted

Sunday Post
Crime fiction doesn’t get better than the DCI Daley series
Waterstones Horsham
The Death of Remembrance is a taut tale full of death, intensity and some startling revelations. It is a novel that fixes your attention from the beginning and keeps you fastened to the page right until the gripping, breathtaking end. I can only hope there is another decade of Daley and Scott to follow
Live and Deadly Reviews
Intense, emotional and with the author's unique blend of humour and experience, all wrapped up in a wonderful sense of place that springs so vividly to mind you can almost feel the fog wrap itself around you as it rolls across the shore
JenMedBookReviews
a thoroughly compelling read that, to use an overworked phrase, keeps you turning the page right to the end. This is a book that deserves to be read by all lovers of Scottish crime fiction - or, indeed, of any crime fiction
