Review
Wonderful and sweeping, with a fabulous sense of place and history Source: Kate Mosse on The Last Hours
An enthralling account of a calamitous time, and above all a wonderful testimony to the strength of the human spirit. I was caught from the first page. Source: Julian Fellowes on The Last Hours
Atmosphere, imagination and narrative power of which few other writers are capable Source: The Times
A vividly-wrought and powerful story. With The Last Hours, Minette Walters has brought her impressive skill as a writer of psychological crime to create a dark and gripping depiction of Medieval England in the jaws of the Black Death. Source: Elizabeth Fremantle on The Last Hours
Walters's skill and subtlety in portraying the suffering and disarray of a feudal society in which disease rampages and God has seemingly gone mad is masterly. And, as with her bestselling suspense novels, the psychological drama is gripping. Source: Elizabeth Buchan, Daily Mail, praise for The Last Hours
