‘Everything that made Dust and Desire such a great book is present in the second. Sorrell’s story as a grieving widower and failed father, cast adrift without the anchor of his girls, remains deeply moving. Sonata of the Dead is a triumph; for Williams, for British crime fiction, and for readers everywhere. Treasure it.’ – Crime Fiction Lover
‘…perfect and compelling thriller fiction… one of the best and most intriguing novels of its kind. It’s every bit as good as Dust and Desire.’ – risingshadow.net
