Praise for Against the Grain
"Lovesey derives genuine emotion from Diamond's potential retirement, and his golden age-style plotting is as tight as ever. This sends the series out on a high note."
--Publishers Weekly, Starred Review Praise for Peter Lovesey "Mr. Lovesey excels at mixing character-driven humor with legitimate suspense."
--The Wall Street Journal "Lovesey is careful to remind us that Bath holds hidden secrets behind its gracious Georgian architecture . . . Light and dark imagery is a fixture of Lovesey's Bath novels, in which life is lived on many levels, some in full sunshine and others buried in shadow."
--The New York Times Book Review "Next to Jane Austen, Peter Lovesey is the writer the tourist board of Bath, England, extols most proudly . . . The enduring draw of the Peter Diamond books derives both from the beguiling Bath cityscape and the brusque character of Diamond himself."
--NPR "Peter Diamond is impatient, belligerent, cunning, insightful, foul, laugh-out-loud funny . . . A superb series."
--Louise Penny "I'm jealous of everyone discovering Lovesey and Diamond for the first time--you have a wonderful backlist to catch up on. Me, all I can do is wait for the next book."
--Sara Paretsky "Lovesey is the real deal."
--Seattle Times "Masterly, atmospheric . . . On the 50th anniversary of the publication of his first novel, Lovesey is still going strong."
--Publishers Weekly, Starred Review
