A tense thriller from the first page to the last
Vanguardia.
<i>Even The Darkest Night </i>is a gem of a book, easily the best I've read this year. A contemporary police procedural with a literary edge. I was rooting for the flawed, but deeply compassionate Melchor Marín from the first page to the last. Highly recommended
- M W Craven,
A wonderful novel. I look forward to many more Melchor stories

The first in what promises to be an excellent series

Striking
- Barry Forshaw, Financial Times
Stays in the memory . . . Cercas perfectly captures the fearful mood of a town in rural Catalonia after the crime. He has also come up with an unusual detective
- Joan Smith, Sunday Times
Cercas plays fast and loose with literary conventions . . . it will be fascinating to see how the character of Marín, a knight in tarnished armour, develops
- Mark Sanderson, The Times
