What People are Saying…
Praise for The Darkest Tide
“Peter Hanington has an eye for the bizarre: the split pupil in a thug’s right eye, a one-winged seagull on a lead. Graham Greene, Elly Griffiths, Lynne Truss and Peter James have all raided “London’s toyshop” — Brighton— in search of wicked tricks and games. He is the equal of them all. Let’s call them Brighton peers.”
-Five Great Crime Novels to read this May, The Sunday Times
“Murder of the Month is Peter Hanington’s The Darkest Tide…Brighton is the setting and grit to this novel — a work tht could enter the running for this year’s ‘The Great British Novel’…
-Jeremy Black, The Critic
Hanington’s vivid depiction of Brighton – from 1960s ganglands to modern streets – is paired with sharp characterisation and suspenseful plotting to create an exploration of memory, regret and the heavy cost of buried truths.
