Fierce, fascinating and full of insight, Frieda Klein is
irresistible. Val McDermid, bestselling author ofSplinter the
Silence Praise for WAITING FOR WEDNESDAY:
"Waiting for Wednesday skillfully balances on a barely-there thread
of a tightrope, straddling police procedural-psychological suspense
territory while keeping its protagonist utterly human, flaws and
all."--The Boston Globe
"There's enough backstory for this third Frieda Klein mystery to
stand alone, but the greatest pleasure is in following the series
from the beginning to see the evolution of Klein, a detective of
the mind, who endures a rough patch here but makes it through the
darkness. Another compelling entry in this complex, suspenseful
series."--Booklist (Starred review)
"Demanding the reader's full attention, this richly detailed and
intricate thriller weaves the story of Frieda's life, past and
present, into a compelling and suspenseful story. Fans of Elizabeth
George will appreciate French's attention to subtlety and
detail."--Library Journal (Starred review)
"As a protagonist, Frieda Klein breaks all the rules.... Grounding
Klein's complicated character is the authors' sublime prose. The
Thames is so real we can smell its stink; the dark city streets so
vividly evoked we can see steam rising off the pavement after a
rain. This is top-notch writing, sensual, deep, and wise."--Mystery
Scene

husband and wife team of writers, but the ending is one that will
leave you gasping for breath!"--Suspense Magazine
