Praise for Down Cemetery Road
“[Herron’s] first novel, Down Cemetery Road, begins with the funniest dinner party scene I have ever read, and then, after a nearby explosion, shifts into thriller territory.”
—Los Angeles Review of Books
“Good characterization, dialogue and well-paced narrative make this confident first novel frighteningly plausible.”
—The Daily Telegraph
“If you haven’t read Zoë Boehm yet, welcome to your next fiction addiction.”
—Val McDermid, author of Past Lying
“A not-to-be-missed treat . . . Herron’s incisive portraits are as pitch perfect as ever, and even if you’ve read this series before, it’s worth reminding yourself of its excellence.”
—The Guardian
“Mick Herron skillfully weaves a complex story with interesting snippets of current events . . . This is the perfect choice for those who like to analyze many layers and false starts as a story unfolds.”
—AudioFile Magazine
“[Down Cemetery Road] shifts from domesticity with violence and private detectives—initially seeming something like Kate Atkinson’s detective novels in both the quality of the writing and the lightness of tone—to something like Christopher Brookmyre at his best . . . Herron is a major writer of considerable wit and talent.”
—International Noir Fiction
Praise for The Oxford Series

—Washington Post
“A dark, entertaining, off-kilter world in which anything can happen, and probably will.”
—Kirkus Reviews
“[A] tight, literary, cliché-free novel.”
—Publishers Weekly
“Thoroughly worth reading.”
—Booklist
“You can always tell when a pro is clicking on all cylinders.”
