Reviews
"Richly atmospheric . . . It's a Dublin where you can smell the pubs, feel the drizzle, and taste the Bewley's coffee. [...] At the centre of it all is the strained relationship between Quirke and Strafford, a couple at odds who are right up there with Banville's greatest achievements."
— Irish Independent
"John Banville is a master of misery. No one can render low-level despair and the smell of stale tobacco smoke as well as he does in his crime novels."
— Literary Review
"A clever, astute read that both describes life at the time superbly as well as the different characters you meet."
— Belfast Telegraph
"The repressed and sinister world of 1950s Ireland is exposed in beautiful, sometimes chilling prose."
— Financial Times
"John Banville is one of my favorite writers alive. Here, the Booker prize winner has it all cooking . . . it's a novel you'll want to sit down with on a chill and windy winter night and read all of."
— Guardian (Books of the Year), on The Lock-Up
"As much a study of two troubled men as a cunning murder mystery. It is full of grief, rage, pain and horror."
— The Times (Best Crime Novels of the Year), on The Lock-Up
