Praise for The Headhunters
“A thoroughly delightful detective story, old-fashioned in the way
that reminds us why we started reading and loving mysteries in the
first place.”
—Otto Penzler, New York Sun
“The Headhunters offers proof once again that nobody can write the
modern traditional detective novel as perfectly as Lovesey.”
—The Denver Post
“Peter Lovesey excels in portraying ordinary people caught up in
extraordinary events and The Headhunters is a splendid
example . . . This is a very cleverly constructed mystery with
well-rounded characters, and it confirms Lovesey’s place in the top
echelon of British crime writers.”
—Sunday Telegraph
"You can always count on Peter Lovesey, one of England’s most
respected mystery writers, to come up with a rollicking good
detective yarn . . . If you like a classic British mystery that
keeps you guessing and moves quickly to a conclusion you’ll
thoroughly enjoy The Headhunters.”
—Mystery Scene
“Further proof that [Lovesey] has no peer in presenting a
traditional mystery.... Mallin deserves as long a fictional career
as Peter Diamond.”
—Publishers Weekly, Starred Review
“Virtually impossible to figure out whodunit.... Catnip for
enthusiasts of the classic puzzler.”
—Kirkus Reviews
“The suspense will keep readers turning pages long into the
night.”
—Library Journal
Praise for Peter Lovesey
“I have long loved Peter Lovesey’s books . . . A creative,
courageous and gifted writer.”
—Louise Penny
“Lovesey is a master of the crime novel.”
—Sara Paretsky
“What'll it be today? A knotty puzzle mystery? A fast-paced police
procedural? Something more high-toned, with a bit of wit? With the
British author Peter Lovesey, there's no need to make those
agonizing decisions, because his books have it all.”
—The New York Times Book Review
“Mr. Lovesey's narrative is swift, but he takes time out for local
color and abundant humor, the latter springing from the book's
quirky characters . . . Lovesey is a wizard at mixing
character-driven comedy with realistic-to-grim suspense. And in a
writing career spanning four decades, he has created a stylish and
varied body of work.”
—The Wall Street Journal
“A treat . . . Lovesey’s restraint, wit, and charming cast ensure
him a place in the winner’s circle.”
—Entertainment Weekly
“Extremely stylish, lighter than air . . . utterly surprising.”
—Newsweek
