"Probably more a 3 1/2 stars, but I'll give it the whole 4. Peter Diamond is a very human detective...never more so than in Diamond Dust. Fully dimensional characters, juicy plotting, emotionally wrenching. Murder. Betrayal. Tension. Diamond Dust has it all."

    " A really exciting ride, however it began to lose steam when the red herring was a bit too distant from the case. Moreover, the red herring story was also pretty interesting and I wanted to know more... maybe in one of the future novels we will find out? "

    " A good read. Lovesey is new to me, and while the story and much of the writing was quite good, there was much of the British 'upper-lip' attitude that I find less interesting than work by Americans. Still, I'll probably check out others in the Diamond series. "
