From the reviews of Murder Book

‘This is a masterpiece of a procedural thriller . . . Unputdownable’

HARRIET CASTOR, Sunday Express

‘It [Murder Book] is complex, engrossing’

Guardian

‘Scary and convincing cast of characters and sympathetic hero’

Literary Review

‘Murder Book is neo-neo-noir, a mannerist thriller that shakes free of the period-piece mode of both Ellroy and Walter Moseley. Rayner’s book has a ’90s kind of bleakness. . .[and] a multiracial cast of characters adds a welcome up-to-date feeling’

Los Angeles Times

‘Terrific new novel. . .I am tempted to call Rayner a thinking person’s Elmore Leonard except that would do a disservice to two fine writers’

Boston Globe

‘Dense and disturbing. . .Murder Book makes a fitting companion to LA Confidential – the book and the movie – as it walks the same emotional beat as James Ellroy’s LAPD, only forty years later’

Chicago Tribune

‘This modern noir thriller has atmosphere to burn. . . a complex and meaty novel’

San Francisco Chronicle
