Critic Reviews

PRAISE FOR NINA BHADRESHWAR

‘This terrific first novel has everything I love in a crime novel – passion, interesting and rooted characters and a great story’ – Ann Cleeves

‘One of the most startling and compelling debuts I've read, and heralds the arrival of Nina Bhadreshwar as one of the most original and exciting new voices in crime fiction’ – David Peace

‘A grimly gorgeous novel’ – Tom Benn

‘Fierce, unflinching and enthralling’ – Simon Lelic

‘A procedural with a social conscience, this page-turner illuminates the tensions as multi-cultural Sheffield, as well as the British violence against the Kikuyu people in 1950s Kenya during the Mau Mau uprising’ – The Bookseller

The Day of the Roaring is a brilliant multi-layered mystery that cajoles us into some very dark places, but leaves us seeing our world with very fresh eyes. Anyone who doesn't believe that crime fiction can deal with hard stuff at the same time as keeping us totally entertained needs to read this’ – William Shaw

‘Nina Bhadreshwar's debut novel, The Day of the Roaring, impressed me with its vivid settings, intricate narrative, and exceptional details’ – Kwei Jones Quartey

‘A multi-layered novel which explores far more than your average police procedural’ – i Paper
