'A perfectly executed traditional mystery' Poisoned Pen" -- Poisoned Pen 20060701 'Still Life will tease, tantalise and trick you. Agatha Christie comes to Three Pines... has all the characteristics of the good, old-fashioned murder mystery - skilful plotting with red herrings galore, cleverly drawn characters, and a strong, calm detective... A clever, quietly-drawn thriller that probes beneath the apparently sunny surface of human nature' Joburg.co.za -- Joburg.co.za 20060501 'Set in an artistic haven outside Montreal, this cerebral mystery about a bow-and-arrow murder and a detective who works out of a local bistro is a rare treat' -- People magazine 20060801
